What it is
Unbleached enriched flour is a type of refined wheat flour. It is 'enriched' with added B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron to replace nutrients lost during processing. 'Unbleached' means it was not treated with bleaching agents.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use it as a primary ingredient in baked goods like cookies, crackers, and bread due to its gluten content, which provides structure. It is a common base for many snack foods, providing a neutral flavor and texture.
Health notes
Unbleached enriched flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The added nutrients contribute to dietary intake of essential vitamins and minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flour and its enrichment components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming enriched flour at typical dietary levels.
