General Mills issues major flour recall after E. coli outbreak

General Mills, owner of the venerable Gold Medal brand, has recalled over 10 million pounds of flour after 38 people in 20 states got sick from a potentially deadly strain of E. coli that may have originated in the company’s products.

The Golden Valley-based packaged food giant Tuesday announced the voluntary recall of some lots of Gold Medal — the nation’s bestselling retail flour — as well as flour sold under the Wondra and Signature Kitchens brands. Signature Kitchens is a store brand sold at several major U.S. grocery chains including Safeway, Albertsons, Jewel, Vons and Acme.
