Roasted Wheat Malt Flour

Roasted wheat malt flour is made from wheat grains that have been malted and then roasted. Malting is a process where grains are sprouted and dried, which changes their starch and sugar content. Roasting further develops flavor and color.

This ingredient is used to add a rich, toasty flavor and a darker color to baked goods and other foods. It can also contribute to browning and a slightly malty sweetness. It is often found in breads, noodles, and frozen entrees.

Roasted wheat malt flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of carbohydrates and some nutrients found in wheat. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar ingredients, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its consumption at normal dietary levels. Evidence does not suggest significant health risks from its use in food.
