Cheez-it Snap'd Double Cheese - Enriched Flour

Enriched flour is made from wheat flour that has added B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron. The refining process removes some of the natural nutrients found in whole wheat, so enrichment restores them. It is a staple ingredient in many baked goods.

Enriched flour is primarily used as a base ingredient in a wide variety of baked goods, including bread, crackers, pasta, and pastries. It provides structure and texture to these products. Manufacturers use it for its consistent baking properties and its role in creating familiar food items.

Enriched flour is a common ingredient in the US food supply and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The added nutrients can help prevent deficiencies in the population. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that at least half of all grains consumed be whole grains, while enriched grains contribute to overall nutrient intake. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels of enriched flour.
