What it is

Enriched flour is made from wheat flour that has had certain B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron added back after processing. The milling process can remove these nutrients, so enrichment helps restore them to levels similar to whole wheat flour.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enriched flour as a base ingredient in a wide variety of baked goods because it provides structure and texture. It is commonly found in bread, pasta, cookies, crackers, cakes, and pastries.

Health notes

Enriched flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in foods. The added B vitamins and iron can help prevent deficiencies in the diet. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated enriched flour 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 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
