General Mills has recalled several types of flour due to E. coli illnesses the US Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have linked to eating uncooked dough and batter made with raw flour. See below link to the FDA for additional recalls
All products included in this recall are listed below. Illnesses have NOT come from properly baked or cooked flour.
Remember do not eat uncooked dough or batter made with raw flour. Flour is made from wheat that is grown outdoors where bacteria are often present. Flour is typically not treated to kill bacteria during the normal milling process.

- Do not eat or taste dough or batter made with raw flour.
