What it is

Enriched wheat flour is refined wheat flour that has added B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron. It is a staple ingredient made from the ground endosperm of wheat kernels, which are then milled and sifted to remove the bran and germ.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enriched wheat flour as the primary structural ingredient in baked goods, providing bulk and texture. It is commonly found in breads, pastries, cakes, cookies, and pasta.

Health notes

Enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The added nutrients help to restore those lost during the refining process. The World Health Organization (WHO) has evaluated flour fortification and recommends it as a public health strategy to combat micronutrient deficiencies.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Enriched wheat flour contains gluten, a protein found in wheat that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
