What it is

Enriched bleached wheat flour is made from wheat that has been milled into flour. It is then bleached, a process that uses chemicals to whiten the flour and improve its baking qualities. Enrichment adds back B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron that are lost during processing.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enriched bleached wheat flour as a base ingredient in baked goods. Its fine texture and consistent quality make it ideal for cakes, cookies, pastries, and bread. It provides structure and absorbs moisture in these products.

Health notes

Enriched bleached wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The enrichment process adds important nutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flour and its components. Typical intake from enriched flour does not raise health concerns.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. Enriched bleached wheat flour contains gluten, a protein found in wheat.
