What it is

Enriched bleached wheat flour is a refined flour made from wheat that has been treated to remove the bran and germ. The bleaching process uses chemicals to whiten the flour and improve its baking qualities. Enrichment adds back certain vitamins and iron that are lost during processing.

Why it's used

This flour is a common ingredient in baked goods like breads, pastries, and cookies due to its fine texture and consistent performance. Manufacturers use it to create a light and airy texture in products like croissants, biscuits, and muffins.

Health notes

Enriched bleached wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and the added B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron can contribute to meeting daily nutrient needs. The FDA has evaluated its safety. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts of enriched flour.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. This ingredient is derived from wheat and contains gluten.
