Wonton Wrapper

Wonton wrappers are thin sheets of dough used to make wontons, a type of dumpling. They are typically made from wheat flour, water, and salt, and sometimes contain egg or a small amount of oil. The dough is rolled very thin and cut into squares or circles.

Wonton wrappers are primarily used to enclose fillings for fried or boiled dumplings, such as wontons and crab rangoon. Their thin, pliable texture allows them to be easily folded and sealed around various savory or sweet ingredients. They are a key component in many Asian appetizers and main dishes.

Wonton wrappers are a food ingredient and do not have a specific regulatory status as an additive. They are made from common food staples like flour and water. The primary nutritional contribution comes from the carbohydrates in the flour. JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) has evaluated many common food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'wonton wrappers' as a distinct item are not typically found. They are generally considered safe as part of a balanced diet.
