What it is

Enriched wheat flour is made from wheat that has had certain nutrients added back after processing. The milling process removes some of the natural nutrients, so enrichment adds back iron and B vitamins like folic acid, niacin, thiamin, and riboflavin.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enriched wheat flour as a primary ingredient in many baked goods, including breads, muffins, cakes, and cookies. It provides structure and texture to these foods. It is also found in pasta and some breakfast cereals.

Health notes

Enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The added nutrients help to replace those lost during milling and contribute to overall nutrient intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated flour enrichment standards. While generally considered safe, some people choose to limit refined grains in their diet.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Enriched wheat flour contains gluten. People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid it.
