What it is

Bleached wheat flour is flour made from wheat that has been treated with a bleaching agent to make it whiter and softer. The bleaching process can be done chemically or naturally through aging. It is commonly used in baking and cooking.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use bleached wheat flour to improve the texture and appearance of baked goods, making them lighter and whiter. It is also used as a coating for fried foods, providing a crispy exterior. You can find it in products like bread, cakes, pastries, and breaded meats.

Health notes

Bleached wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The bleaching agents used are approved by the FDA and are present in very small amounts in the final product. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated flour treatment agents. Typical consumption of bleached wheat flour is not associated with adverse health effects.
