What it is
Enriched flour bleached is a type of wheat flour that has undergone a bleaching process to whiten it and improve its baking qualities. Enrichment adds back essential B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron that are lost during processing.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use enriched flour bleached as a primary ingredient in a wide variety of baked goods and processed foods due to its refined texture and baking performance. It is commonly found in breads, pasta, cookies, crackers, and breakfast cereals.
Health notes
In the U.S., enriched flour bleached is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The added vitamins and iron contribute to the nutritional profile of foods made with it. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/FAO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated flour treatment agents, but JECFA did not set a numeric limit for this ingredient. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical dietary intake levels.
Allergen info
Enriched flour bleached is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It also contains gluten.
