Health notes

Enriched white bread is a refined grain product. The FDA mandates enrichment for most refined grain products, including white bread, to restore nutrients lost during processing and to help prevent deficiencies like neural tube defects (due to folic acid). While it provides carbohydrates for energy and essential nutrients from enrichment, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend making at least half of your grain intake whole grains. JECFA and EFSA do not evaluate whole food products like bread.
