What it is

Unbromated Passover wheat flour is a finely ground powder made from milled wheat grains. The term "unbromated" means it has not been treated with potassium bromate, a dough conditioner. "Passover" indicates it meets specific dietary requirements for the Jewish holiday, typically meaning it has not come into contact with water before being baked into matzo.

Why it's used

This flour is primarily used as a base ingredient in baked goods, providing structure and texture. It is commonly found in products like crackers, matzos, cakes, cookies, and certain cereals.

Health notes

Wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a basic food ingredient. The "unbromated" designation means it does not contain potassium bromate, an additive permitted by the FDA for use in flour. Concerns about potassium bromate have led some manufacturers to avoid its use; JECFA concluded it is not appropriate as a flour treatment agent.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. This ingredient contains gluten.
