What it is
Enriched flour is made from wheat flour that has had certain 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 use enriched flour as a base for many baked goods and grain products. It provides structure and texture in items like bread, pasta, crackers, and cereals. The added nutrients are intended to help improve the nutritional profile of these common foods.
Health notes
Enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in foods. The added nutrients are important for energy metabolism and cell growth. JECFA has evaluated flour and its enrichment components. Folic acid, added for enrichment, is known to help prevent certain birth defects.
Allergen info
Wheat flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It also contains gluten, a protein found in wheat that can cause adverse reactions in people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
