What it is

Enriched wheat flour is made from wheat grain that has had nutrients added back after processing. The milling process removes the bran and germ, which contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Enrichment adds back iron and B vitamins like thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and folic acid.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add enriched wheat flour to baked goods and other processed foods to provide structure and texture. It is a common ingredient in bread, pasta, crackers, and breakfast cereals. It is also used as a binder or coating in some savory products.

Health notes

Enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The added nutrients contribute to the overall nutritional profile of foods containing it. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flour and its enrichment components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Enriched wheat flour contains gluten, a protein found in wheat that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
