What it is

Unbromated flour is flour that has not been treated with potassium bromate, a dough conditioner. Flour is made by milling grains, most commonly wheat, into a fine powder.

Why it's used

Unbromated flour serves as the primary structural component in many baked goods, including breads, cookies, and pizza crusts. It provides texture and volume to products and is a fundamental ingredient in a wide range of food manufacturing.

Health notes

The 'unbromated' designation means the flour avoids the use of potassium bromate. Potassium bromate is an additive that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) permits for use in flour. However, the international Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) concluded that potassium bromate is not appropriate for use as a flour treatment agent and did not set an acceptable daily intake. The European Union has banned potassium bromate as a food additive. In the US, California will ban potassium bromate in food products starting in 2027.

Allergen info

Flour, especially wheat flour, is a major allergen and contains gluten. If derived from other grains like corn or rice, it may not contain gluten, but wheat is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA.
