Overview

• General Mills has issued a recall for two types of Gold Medal flour due to salmonella contamination discovered by the CDC.
• The recalled flour products have a 'best by' date of March 27 or 28, 2024 and include unbleached and bleached all-purpose flour in 2-, 5- and 10-pound bags.
• Although there are no reports of illness so far, the CDC is investigating an outbreak of salmonella in 11 states that has been linked to the recalled flour.
