What it is

Enriched flour is made from wheat flour where certain B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron have been added back after processing. The enrichment process helps restore nutrients lost during the milling of refined wheat into white flour.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enriched flour as a primary ingredient in baked goods like bread, crackers, pasta, and cereals. It provides structure and texture to these products while also contributing to their nutritional profile.

Health notes

Enriched flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in foods. The added nutrients contribute to public health, particularly in preventing deficiencies of B vitamins and iron. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flour enrichment, and it is widely accepted as a public health measure.

Allergen info

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