What it is

Bleached enriched flour is made from wheat that has been refined to remove the bran and germ. It is then treated with chemicals to whiten it and improve its baking qualities. Enrichment adds back certain vitamins and minerals lost during processing, such as iron and B vitamins.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use bleached enriched flour as a base for many baked goods because it creates a softer texture and lighter color. It is commonly found in breads, tortillas, pastries, cakes, and pasta.

Health notes

In the US, bleached flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The enrichment process adds back nutrients like iron and folic acid, which are beneficial. Some studies have explored potential links between refined grains and health outcomes, but the evidence is mixed. International bodies like EFSA have also evaluated flour processing and additives.

Allergen info

This ingredient is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
