What it is

Enriched bleached wheat flour is made from wheat that has been milled into flour. The flour is then 'bleached' using oxidizing agents to make it whiter and age it faster. 'Enriched' means that certain B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron have been added back after processing.

Why it's used

This flour is commonly used in baked goods like bread, tortillas, pasta, and pastries. Manufacturers use it because it provides structure and texture to these foods. Its refined nature can also lead to a lighter texture in the final product.

Health notes

In the US, enriched bleached wheat flour is a common ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Folic acid enrichment is a public health measure to help prevent neural tube defects. While it provides some B vitamins and iron, it is lower in fiber and certain nutrients compared to whole wheat flour. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flour and its components.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. This ingredient is derived from wheat and contains gluten.
