What it is
Unbleached enriched wheat flour is made from wheat grains that have not been bleached with chemicals. "Enriched" means that B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron have been added back after processing, as they are partly removed during milling.
Why it's used
It is a primary ingredient in baked goods like bread, pastries, and cookies, providing structure and texture. Manufacturers use it as the base for doughs and batters.
Health notes
Unbleached enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and added nutrients. The WHO/IARC has classified wheat gluten as not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. Evidence on the health effects of refined grains is mixed, with some studies suggesting a link to increased risk of chronic diseases when consumed in excess, while others highlight the benefits of whole grains.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. This ingredient contains gluten, a protein found in wheat that can cause adverse reactions in people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
