What it is

Enriched wheat flour is refined wheat flour that has had B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron added back in. This is done because the refining process removes these naturally occurring nutrients. It is a staple ingredient in many baked goods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enriched wheat flour as the base for a wide variety of baked goods due to its gluten content, which provides structure and chewiness. It is commonly found in breads, cakes, cookies, pastries, and pasta.

Health notes

Enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The added nutrients help to restore levels lost during milling, contributing to public health by preventing deficiencies. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated wheat flour and its components.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Enriched wheat flour contains gluten.
