Recalled Product: Baker’s Corner All Purpose Flour
The recalled product includes ADM Milling’s Baker’s Corner All Purpose Flour in five-pound bags. The flour was packaged for ALDI stores in Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and West Virginia.
The five-pound flour bags have the UPC code 041498130404 and include all “best if used by dates” and lots, according to the FDA.
Why the Flour Was Recalled
The flour was recalled following the detection of E. coli in a five-pound bag of the product. The specific strain of the bacteria was linked to 17 illnesses across eight states. Following an initial recall of certain lots, ADM Milling expanded the scope of the products included (all lots and best by dates) out of an abundance of caution. The source of the bacteria is still under investigation.
