What it is

Enriched bleached wheat flour is made from wheat that has been milled into flour. The flour is then bleached, a process that whitens it and can improve its baking qualities. 'Enriched' means that certain vitamins and iron have been added back after processing, as they are often lost during milling.

Why it's used

This flour is a primary ingredient in many baked goods, especially those that require a soft texture and good structure, like tortillas, breads, and pastries. Manufacturers use it because it provides the bulk and gluten structure necessary for these products.

Health notes

Enriched bleached wheat flour is a common ingredient in the US food supply and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It provides carbohydrates and added nutrients like iron and B vitamins. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated flour and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of enriched flour.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Flour tortillas made from wheat flour will contain wheat and therefore are not suitable for individuals with a wheat allergy. Wheat also contains gluten.
