General Mills Recalls 10 Million Pounds of Gold Medal Flour On Ecoli Concerns

They haven’t actually tested ecoli at any of their locations. However, people have been getting sick after using their products. So, they said ‘fuck it, let’s recall 10 million pounds of this junk.’

“some of the ill consumers may have also consumed raw dough or batter.” The outbreak, which began in December, has spanned 20 states.

“We felt it was important to not only recall the product and replace it for consumers if there was any doubt, but also to take this opportunity to remind our consumers how to safely handle flour,” said Liz Nordlie, president of General Mills’ baking division.

The lesson here is the average person is no smarter than Harambe and should stop eating raw batter. They should take this opportunity, while projectile vomiting into their toilet bowls, to understand how to properly handle flour.

That is all.

    They really should have tested the stuff first. Raw batter often contains raw eggs or other ingredients that could be where the e coli comes from. Depends probably on how fresh or not the eggs or other raw ingredients were

    The Slow Food movement has gathered enough steam that all of my needs for flour are now met locally. Still wouldn’t be interested in raw batter or dough, though.
