Gold Medal flour recalled due to Salmonella

Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – General Mills today announced a voluntary national recall of two-, five- and 10-pound bags of its Gold Medal Unbleached and Bleached All-Purpose Flour, according to an April 28 news release from the company. 

The recall is being issued for those bags with the “Better if used by” date of March 27, 2024, due the potential presence of Salmonella Infantis, which was discovered during a sampling of a five-pound bag product. 

Consumers are asked to check their pantries and dispose of the product affected by this recall.  

The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control(CDC) warn that consumers should refrain from consuming any raw products made with flour.  

The agencies also said Salmonella Infantis is killed by heat through baking, frying, sautéing or boiling products made with flour. All surfaces, hands and utensils should be properly cleaned after contact with flour or dough. 

Consumers who have had to discard products covered by this recall may contact General Mills Consumer Relations.
