What it is

Enriched wheat flour is refined wheat flour that has added B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron. It is made from the endosperm of wheat kernels, which is ground into a fine powder. The enrichment process restores nutrients lost during the milling process.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add enriched wheat flour as a primary ingredient in baked goods, providing structure and texture. It is commonly found in breads, pastries, cakes, cookies, and pasta. The added nutrients also contribute to the overall nutritional profile of the food.

Health notes

Enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The added iron and B vitamins help prevent deficiencies in the population. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated many food additives, including nutrients, and have established guidelines for their use. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming foods made with enriched wheat flour at typical intake levels.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Enriched wheat flour is derived from wheat and therefore contains gluten.
