What it is
Unbleached enriched wheat flour is a finely ground powder made from wheat grains. "Unbleached" means no chemical bleaching agents were used to whiten the flour. "Enriched" means that certain B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron have been added back to the flour after being lost during processing.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use unbleached enriched wheat flour as a primary ingredient to provide structure, texture, and bulk in many baked goods. It is a foundational component in products like biscuits, breads, cakes, and pastries.
Health notes
Wheat flour is a common food ingredient and is not regulated by the FDA as a food additive. Enrichment of flour with certain nutrients is a public health measure in the US. For most people, wheat flour is a safe and nutritious source of carbohydrates. However, individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity must avoid wheat due to its gluten content. There are no specific health controversies regarding unbleached enriched wheat flour itself, beyond general dietary considerations for wheat and gluten.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. This ingredient also contains gluten.
