What it is

Enriched unbleached wheat flour is made from wheat that has not been bleached with chemicals. It is enriched with added vitamins and minerals, typically iron and folic acid, to replace those lost during processing. This flour is a key ingredient in many baked goods and processed foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enriched unbleached wheat flour as a primary structural ingredient in baked goods like bread, cookies, and cakes. Its protein content provides structure, while its starch contributes to texture and browning. It is also used in pasta, cereals, and as a thickener in sauces and gravies.

Health notes

Enriched unbleached wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The added nutrients can help prevent deficiencies, such as iron-deficiency anemia and neural tube defects. The WHO/IARC has not classified wheat flour. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flour and its components. While some people choose unbleached or whole grain flours for perceived health benefits, enriched flour is a staple in the US diet.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Enriched unbleached wheat flour contains gluten, a protein found in wheat that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
