What it is

Enriched bleached wheat flour is made from wheat that has had the bran and germ removed (milled) and then bleached to make it whiter. Enrichment adds back B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron that are lost during processing.

Why it's used

This flour is commonly used in baking because it is fine and white, creating a lighter texture and color in finished products. It is a primary ingredient in cookies, cakes, muffins, bread, and many other baked goods.

Health notes

In the US, enriched bleached wheat flour is a common ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The added nutrients can help prevent deficiencies. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated flour and its components. Concerns about refined grains are often discussed in relation to overall dietary patterns.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. This ingredient contains gluten, a protein found in wheat.
