What it is
Enriched flour is made from wheat flour that has had certain nutrients added back after processing. These nutrients typically include iron and several B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid). The enrichment process helps to restore nutrients lost during the milling of the wheat.
Why it's used
Enriched flour is a common ingredient in baked goods and processed foods, providing structure and texture. Manufacturers use it in products like bread, pasta, cereals, and tortillas because it is widely available and contributes to the desired consistency and appearance of the final product.
Health notes
Enriched flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The added nutrients, particularly folic acid, are important for public health. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flour enrichment, and it is a common practice globally. Consuming foods made with enriched flour contributes to the intake of essential B vitamins and iron.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Enriched flour is derived from wheat and therefore contains gluten.
