What it is
Enriched bleached wheat flour is a refined flour made from wheat. The bleaching process uses agents to whiten the flour and improve its baking qualities. Enrichment adds back B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron that are lost during milling.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use this flour as a base for baked goods, providing structure and texture. It is common in products like biscuits, muffins, cakes, cookies, and breads, where a fine, white flour is desired for a tender crumb.
Health notes
In the US, enriched bleached wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The enrichment process adds important nutrients. No specific health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flour and its components.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. This ingredient contains gluten, a protein found in wheat that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
