What it is
Enriched bleached wheat flour is made by milling wheat grains into a fine powder. It is then treated to whiten it and improve its baking qualities (bleaching). Essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and folic acid) are added back to the flour (enrichment) to replace those lost during processing.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use enriched bleached wheat flour to provide structure, texture, and bulk in a wide range of baked goods. It is a common ingredient in breads, cakes, cookies, pastries, and other flour-based products. The bleaching process can result in a softer, whiter product.
Health notes
Wheat flour is a staple food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The enrichment of flour with iron and B vitamins is a public health measure in the US to help prevent nutrient deficiencies. Bleaching agents used in flour are approved food additives by the FDA. JECFA has evaluated some of the specific bleaching agents, but the flour itself is considered a food.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
