Summary

This product is primarily composed of bleached and enriched wheat flour, which is processed to improve texture and appearance but may reduce nutritional value. The bleaching process can involve chemicals that some consumers prefer to avoid, and the flour lacks the fiber and essential nutrients found in whole grain alternatives. Despite being minimally processed, the use of bleached flour and the absence of whole grains limit its nutritional benefits.
