What it is

Bleached wheat flour is made from wheat grain that has been milled into flour. The bleaching process uses chemicals to whiten the flour and improve its baking qualities. This process can alter the flour's protein structure, which may affect how it behaves in recipes.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use bleached wheat flour in baked goods like bread, cakes, and cookies for its fine texture and ability to create a light crumb. It is also a primary ingredient in edible cones for ice cream and other frozen desserts, providing a crisp structure.

Health notes

Bleached wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins, though enrichment levels may vary. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated flour and its processing, but no specific health concerns are widely attributed to bleached flour at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the nine FDA major allergens. Bleached wheat flour is derived from wheat and contains gluten, a protein found in wheat.
