What it is
Enriched flour is a type of flour that has had vitamins and minerals added back into it after processing. The refining process removes the bran and germ, which contain most of the natural nutrients. Enrichment restores iron and some B vitamins, such as folic acid, niacin, thiamin, and riboflavin.
Why it's used
Enriched flour is a common ingredient in baked goods like bread, cookies, cakes, and pastries. Manufacturers use it as a primary structural ingredient, providing the base for doughs and batters. It is also found in pasta and some breakfast cereals.
Health notes
In the U.S., enriched flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The added nutrients can help prevent deficiencies in the population, particularly for iron and certain B vitamins. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flour fortification, and it is a common practice worldwide. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming enriched flour at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Enriched flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It also contains gluten.
