Wheat in this country is GMO and sprayed with pesticides as well as stored in ways that can cause microscopic mold to grow. All I know if I can eat bread in France without issue but avoid it like the plague in the US.
The iron "enrichment" or "fortification" is the main thing. They don't add iron to wheat in France or Italy, but here it's the law. There was a good post about that here, but it's been a while.
