Statewide—Check your pantry, because General Mills has voluntarily recalled 5-pound bags of Gold Medal unbleached all-purpose flour for possible E. coli contamination. General Mills announced the recall after the strain E. coli 026 was found during a sampling of Gold Medal’s 5-pound bags of unbleached flour.
The recalled flour has better if used by date of Sept. 6, 2020, and bears the UPC 016000 196100 on the packaging.
The flour is being recalled out of an abundance of caution, and so far, the company has not received any reports from consumers about illness related to consuming the product.
If you have an affected bag of flour, you should dispose of it.
