General Mills has issued a recall for approximately 10 million pounds of flour because of a possible E. coli contamination that may be linked with an outbreak of illnesses across 20 states.
The company says it is collaborating with health officials to investigate the potential outbreak. The recall includes multiple varieties of Gold Medal, Wondra and Signature Kitchens flour products. General Mills says E. coli has not been found in the product or the flour manufacturing facility. Additionally, the company has not been directly contacted by a consumer reporting a confirmed illness, but the recall was initiated out of an “abundance of caution.”
