General Mills has expanded its recall of Gold Medal, Wondra and Signature Kitchens flour products as it continues to work with federal officials who are investigating a multistate outbreak of E. coli. General Mills first issued a recall last month for approximately 10 million pounds of flour.
The company says the recall is being expanded due to a newly reported illness that appears to have stemmed from the consumption of raw dough or batter linked to flour produced last fall. A recent guidance released by FDA warned consumers about the food safety risk of eating raw products made with flour.
