Gold Medal flour recalled nationally, due to salmonella concerns. General Mills is recalling five-pound bags of Gold Medal Unbleached Flour due to salmonella concerns. The only packages being recalled are those with a better-if-used-by-date of April 20, 2020, the company said Wednesday.

King Arthur for me. If I could get local it would be White Lilly.

I was at Sam's today and noticed they carry big ol' 20lb bags of Gold Medal

No, thanks.

We also use King Arthur. I started ordering it online since Wal-Mart stopped stocking it in the store.

No doubt the Gold Medal flour was flour people used during the holiday baking goodies???

It's a good thing I know I didn't buy Gold Medal flour the last time I stocked up; I decant my flours into big Lock & Lock containers and would have no idea what date was on the original bags. Sometimes I go through flour pretty quickly and other times it sits for awhile. However, the only time I deal with raw flour that stays that way is when I'm working with biscuits or pie dough (which hasn't happened in a couple of months)—the cooking/baking process takes care of any bacteria that may be present in other applications.

(bolded by me) One thing I do with items like that is, after pouring it into the L&L, I cut out the piece of the bag/box with the dates and that other numerical data on it, and slide that into the side of the L&L so I can see the info through the plastic and it's there, also, for future reference.

@chickenbutt I cut out the info and tape it to the bottom of my see through canister. One has to be so careful today and it's a real nuisance.

Never remember having this much trouble with recalls in the fifties through seventies. How things have changed and in some cases not for the better.
