E.Coli Outbreak Leads To Huge Recall

Millions of pounds of flour are being recalled because of an E.Coli outbreak. Nearly 40 people have been affected thus far. Here are the details. 

Minnesota based General Mills is recalling around 10 million pounds of Gold Medal flour products.

GM announced Tuesday that while its products have yet to be directly linked to the outbreak, some of those who got sick reported using them, including at least 3 people in Minnesota. Health officials say the outbreak has sickened 38 people in 20 states since December.  The CDC found that about half of the people sickened reported making something at home with flour before getting sick, this according to the General Mills website.

The MN Department of Health says flour should be treated much like many other raw ingredient.
