What it is

Enriched bleached flour is wheat flour that has been treated to whiten it and improve its baking properties. After bleaching, specific nutrients like B vitamins (niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, folic acid) and iron are added back to replace those lost during processing.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enriched bleached flour to provide structure and texture in baked goods. It is commonly found in products like breads, cakes, cookies, and tortillas, where its fine texture and consistent baking performance are desired.

Health notes

Enriched bleached flour is a common food ingredient. The FDA requires the enrichment of refined grain products like flour with certain B vitamins and iron to help prevent nutrient deficiencies. Bleaching agents used in flour are generally considered safe by the FDA. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend that at least half of all grains consumed should be whole grains.

Allergen info

This ingredient contains wheat, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It also contains gluten.
