Breaded With Enriched Bleached Wheat Flour And Durum Flour

This is a coating made from wheat flour that has been bleached and enriched. Bleaching is a process that whitens the flour, and enrichment adds back nutrients lost during processing. Durum flour, a type of coarse, high-protein wheat flour, is also used.

This mixture is used as a breading or coating for foods like chicken, fish, and vegetables. It helps create a crispy texture when fried or baked and can also add flavor. It is commonly found in frozen entrees, appetizers, and processed meat products.

Enriched bleached wheat flour is a common ingredient in many baked goods and processed foods. The FDA considers wheat to be a major food allergen. While some people have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity and must avoid wheat and gluten, for the general population, it is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/FAO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) evaluate food ingredients, but specific evaluations for this flour mixture are not typically highlighted.
