Sugar Cookie Ingredients and Allergens
Ingredients
Here is the list of ingredients in the popular sugar cookie treat from Wendy’s restaurant.
Ingredients:Enriched Bleached Flour, Sugar, Palm Oil, Eggs, Butter (cream, lactic acid), Baking Soda, Salt, Natural Flavors, Acetic Acid, and Annatto Extract (for color)
What is Thiamine Mononitrate?
The bleached flour used to make these sugar cookies is enriched with Thiamine Mononitrate, a form of Vitamin B1.
During the production of certain foods such as breads and other baked goods, certain minerals and natural vitamins are stripped away to improve texture or shelf life.
For example, the bran and the germ are extracted from the wheat. In an effort to improve the nutritional value, food producers add back vitamins and minerals.
Thiamine Mononitrate is one of the supplements typically added back to processed flour. It’s a nitrate salt form of water-soluble vitamin B1.
Enriched flour will also typically contain Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), and Folic Acid (B9).
Natural food sources containing thiamine include whole grains, fish, and meat.
Allergens
The sugar cookie served at Wendy’s is made with ingredients that contain egg, dairy, and wheat.
