What it is
Cultured wheat flour is a natural antimicrobial ingredient produced by fermenting wheat flour with specific beneficial bacteria, often Lactobacillus species. This fermentation process enhances the flour's natural preservative properties.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use cultured wheat flour blend as a clean-label preservative to extend the shelf life of baked goods and other processed foods. It helps inhibit the growth of mold and bacteria, maintaining product freshness and safety. It is often found in bread, tortillas, and baked snacks.
Health notes
In the U.S., cultured wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is considered a natural alternative to synthetic preservatives. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar cultured ingredients. Evidence suggests it is safe when consumed at typical levels found in food.
Allergen info
Cultured wheat flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
