What it is
Enriched wheat flour is refined wheat flour that has added B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron. The refining process removes the bran and germ, which contain most of the natural nutrients. Enrichment restores some of these nutrients, but not all of them.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use enriched wheat flour as a base for coatings on fried foods, like chicken or fish, to create a crispy texture. It's also a primary ingredient in baked goods such as bread, pasta, and pastries, providing structure and substance to these products.
Health notes
Enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The added B vitamins and iron contribute to nutrient intake, supporting energy metabolism and oxygen transport. JECFA has evaluated enriched wheat flour and found it acceptable for consumption. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Enriched wheat flour contains gluten, a protein found in wheat that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
