General Mills expands flour recall over E. coli outbreak
42 cases of illness reported
CNN -General Mills announced Friday that it is expanding its voluntary flour recall
Federal and state health officials are investigating an outbreak of
E. coli O121 that has caused 42 cases of illness across what
investigators now say is 21 states, according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. The expanded list now includes Indiana. Eleven
of those individuals had been hospitalized.
No one has had problems with kidney failure, as can happen with these cases, nor has anyone died.
Out
of an abundance of caution, General Mills announced the voluntary
recall of more than 10 million pounds of flour in June because it may be
linked to the outbreak.
Approximately half of the ill
individuals reported making something homemade with flour before
becoming ill, and some of them reported using a General Mills brand of
flour, the company said in a news release.

death from a recalled product, please call The Sanders Firm today. We
