What it is

Enriched wheat flour is made from wheat grains that have been milled to remove the bran and germ, leaving the endosperm. After milling, specific B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron are added back to the flour. This process restores nutrients lost during milling.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enriched wheat flour as a primary ingredient to provide structure, texture, and bulk in many baked goods. It is a staple in products like breads, cakes, cookies, and pastries, as well as in various savory bakery items.

Health notes

Enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. The enrichment process aims to restore nutrients lost during milling and prevent common nutritional deficiencies. There are no specific health controversies directly related to the enrichment process itself, though the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend making at least half of your grains whole grains. JECFA has not evaluated enriched wheat flour as a food additive.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. Enriched wheat flour contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
