What it is

Enriched bleached flour is made from wheat flour that has been treated to make it whiter and finer. It is 'enriched' with added vitamins and minerals, such as iron and B vitamins, to replace those lost during processing. This flour is a common base for baked goods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enriched bleached flour as a primary ingredient in many baked goods due to its fine texture and ability to create a light, tender crumb. It is frequently found in biscuits, cakes, cookies, muffins, and bread.

Health notes

Enriched bleached flour is considered safe by the FDA. It is a common ingredient in the US food supply and is not subject to specific upper intake limits. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flour and its enrichment process. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts of enriched bleached flour.

Allergen info

Enriched bleached flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
