What it is

Wheat flour enriched is made from wheat grains that have had B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron added back after processing. The milling process removes some of these nutrients, so enrichment restores them to levels similar to whole wheat. It is a staple ingredient in many baked goods and processed foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add enriched wheat flour as a primary ingredient for structure and texture in baked goods like bread, pasta, and pastries. It also serves as a binder and thickener in processed foods. Its neutral flavor makes it versatile for a wide range of products.

Health notes

Enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The added nutrients contribute to the diet, helping to prevent deficiencies. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated it. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of enriched flour.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity must avoid wheat flour due to its gluten content.
