A voluntary recall of several sizes of unbleached and bleached "Gold Medal" bags of flour has been announced by General Mills due to potential salmonella contamination, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
The national recall affects two-, five- and 10-pound bags of Gold Medal bleached and unbleached all-purpose flour with a “better if used by” date of March 27, 2024, and March 28, 2024.
The presence of Salmonella Infantis was detected in a sampling of a five-pound bag, triggering the recall.
All other types of Gold Medal flour are unaffected by the recall.
Consumers are asked to check their pantries and dispose of any recalled flour that may have been purchased. Those who have had to discard flour can contact General Mills customer relations at 1-800-230-8103.
