What it is
Bleached wheat flour is made from wheat that has been treated with an oxidizing agent, such as chlorine gas or benzoyl peroxide. This process whitens the flour and can change its baking properties, often making it suitable for cakes and cookies.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use bleached flour for its softer texture and whiter color, which can be desirable in baked goods like cookies, cakes, and pastries. It is a common ingredient in many processed baked goods and baking mixes.
Health notes
In the U.S., bleached flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The bleaching process does not significantly alter the nutritional content of the flour. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated flour and its components.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Bleached wheat flour contains gluten.
