Health notes
Wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins and iron, especially when enriched. The WHO/IARC has not classified wheat flour as a carcinogen. While some individuals have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, for the general population, moderate consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
