ADM - CHICAGO

Recall #F-1568-2019 · Initiated 2019-05-22

Plain-language summary

by FoodRecallsDB.info

What happened

ADM is recalling multiple flour products sold under different brand names (including Baker's Corner, King Arthur, Pillsbury Best, and others) because they may contain E. coli O26, a harmful bacteria. This is a serious recall, but the risk is manageable with proper precautions.

Who is at risk

Anyone who consumed or could consume these flour products is potentially at risk, especially young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems, since E. coli O26 can cause serious illness.

What to do

Check if you have any of the recalled flour products listed (focusing on Lot #8346BF and the specific brand names mentioned) and stop using them immediately. Do not consume raw or undercooked foods made with this flour; if you've already used the flour in baked goods that were thoroughly cooked at high temperatures, the heat would have killed the bacteria. Dispose of the flour safely or return it to your retailer.
