What it is

Enriched wheat flour is a refined flour made from the wheat kernel. The refining process removes the bran and germ, leaving the starchy endosperm. It is 'enriched' by adding back B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron that are lost during processing.

Why it's used

Enriched wheat flour is a primary ingredient in many baked goods and processed foods. It provides structure and texture in products like bread, pasta, crackers, and cereals. Manufacturers use it as a base ingredient for its baking properties and to fortify it with essential nutrients.

Health notes

Enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common source of carbohydrates and added vitamins and minerals. The WHO and IARC have not classified wheat flour itself as a carcinogen. While some individuals may have sensitivities or allergies to wheat, for the general population, it is considered a safe and common food ingredient.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens identified 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.
