What it is

Enriched wheat flour is refined wheat flour that has added B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron. The refining process removes the bran and germ, which contain most of the natural nutrients. Enrichment restores some of these nutrients.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add enriched wheat flour as a primary ingredient in baked goods like donuts, cakes, cookies, and bread. It provides structure and texture to these products. It is also used in pasta and some breakfast cereals.

Health notes

Enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The added nutrients can help prevent deficiencies in the general population. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also evaluated flour fortification. While whole grains are often recommended for their fiber content, enriched flour provides important micronutrients.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Enriched wheat flour contains gluten.
