What it is
Enriched wheat flour is refined wheat flour that has added B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron. The refining process removes the bran and germ, which contain most of the natural nutrients. Enrichment restores some of these nutrients, plus iron.
Why it's used
Enriched wheat flour is a primary ingredient in many baked goods and grain-based products. It provides structure and texture in items like breads, pastas, tortillas, and pastries. Manufacturers use it for its familiar taste, texture, and baking properties.
Health notes
Enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in foods. The added nutrients contribute to meeting daily requirements for these vitamins and iron. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flour enrichment, and it is a common practice globally. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of enriched flour.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Enriched wheat flour contains gluten, a protein found in wheat.
