General Mills Issues Flour Recall Due to Salmonella Concerns

MONDAY, May 1, 2023 (HealthDay News) — General Mills has recalled four varieties of its Gold Medal flour because of concerns over potential contamination with Salmonella.

The recalled flour has “better if used by” dates of March 27, 2024, and March 28, 2024, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The recalled products are both bleached and unbleached all-purpose flour in 2-, 5- and 10-lb bags. Other types of Gold Medal flour are not affected by the recall. Those who find recalled flour in their pantries should throw it out, the company said.

The recall was issued after a sampling of the 5 lb-size flour detected the potential presence of Salmonella.

The FDA and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention always recommend that consumers do not eat raw products made with any flour. The bacteria is killed through baking, frying, sautéing, or boiling.
