Gold Medal Flour Recall

Eileen in Virginia · ‎08-25-2010

I just saw on the morning news that General Mills is recalling its 5 pound bags of Gold Medal unbleached flour due to salmonella concerns. These bags have a best if used by date of April 20, 2020. Sofar, there haven’t been any reports of anyone getting sick.

@Eileen in Virginia - Thanks for the alert. I bought Gold Medal flour yesterday, but I just looked and mine is a 2lb. bag with a May 2020 date. These recalls are happening too often.

Geez! One can only guess how many Christmas/holiday cookies and cakes were made, possibly using the tainted flour!

I wonder if the flour is okay as long as it is cooked.

Thanks - I just bought a bag this week but it's bleached and 5/20 exp date.

Here’s a toll-free number for General Mills Consumer Relations for those who have to throw away the recalled flour: 1-800-230-8103. They could probably answer your question about the safety of eating it if it’s cooked.

Glad I don't eat flour! What seems to be the problem? Something gross like weavels?

I dont use flour or sugar and dont have them in the house. I havent home backed in a long time. This is awful though and happening far too often!!

I can't remember the last time I ate anything with white flour, much less buying a bag of white flour. I don't eat anything made with wheat...processed or whole.
