What it is
Wheat flour and water is a fundamental mixture, often forming the base for doughs and batters. Wheat flour is produced by grinding wheat kernels, and water is a basic liquid ingredient.

Health notes
Wheat flour and water are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) food ingredients by the FDA and are not regulated as food additives. For most individuals, wheat flour is a common source of carbohydrates and fiber. However, people with celiac disease or wheat allergies must avoid it due to potential adverse reactions. JECFA and EFSA evaluate food ingredients, but for basic food components like wheat flour and water, specific additive evaluations are not typically applicable.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It also contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
