What it is
Enriched flour is a type of refined wheat flour that has had vitamins and iron added back in after processing. The refining process removes the bran and germ, which contain most of the fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Enrichment adds back specific nutrients like thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, and iron.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use enriched flour as a base ingredient in many baked goods because it provides a desirable texture and structure. It is commonly found in products like bread, pasta, cakes, cookies, and breakfast cereals.
Health notes
Enriched flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The added nutrients help to restore some of the nutritional value lost during milling. While enrichment helps prevent certain nutrient deficiencies, the overall nutritional profile is still lower in fiber and some micronutrients compared to whole wheat flour. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flour enrichment standards.
Allergen info
Enriched flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It also contains gluten.
