What it is

Enriched wheat flour is a refined flour made from the endosperm of wheat grains. It has been processed to add back essential vitamins and minerals, such as iron and B vitamins, that are lost during the refining process. It is a staple ingredient in many baked goods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enriched wheat flour as a primary ingredient in a wide variety of baked goods due to its gluten content, which provides structure and texture. It is commonly found in breads, pasta, crackers, and breakfast cereals, including pretzels.

Health notes

Enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The added nutrients can help prevent deficiencies in the general population. The World Health Organization (WHO) has evaluated wheat flour and its enrichment, but does not set specific limits for typical dietary intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming foods made with enriched wheat flour at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

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