Summary
Gold Medal Self-Rising Flour is a processed product with a moderate level of additives, including leavening agents and calcium sulfate. While it contains beneficial nutrients like niacin, iron, and folic acid, which are added to enrich the flour, the presence of multiple additives and the processing level limit its score. The absence of harmful ingredients like artificial dyes or seed oils is a positive aspect, but the overall processing and additive content prevent a higher rating.
