What it is
Enriched flour is refined wheat flour that has had certain nutrients added back after processing. These nutrients typically include iron and several B vitamins like folic acid, niacin, thiamin, and riboflavin. The enrichment process helps to restore nutrients lost during the milling of wheat.
Why it's used
Enriched flour is a staple ingredient in many baked goods due to its texture and baking properties. Manufacturers use it in products like bread, pasta, cakes, cookies, and breakfast cereals. It provides structure and a neutral flavor base for a wide variety of processed foods.
Health notes
In the US, enriched flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The added nutrients can help prevent deficiencies in the population. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated flour and its enrichment components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming enriched flour at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Enriched flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It contains gluten. Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid it.
