Popular Flour Product Recalled for Contamination with Harmful Bacteria

A popular brand of flour's recall has been extended to more products due to E. coli contamination concerns.
According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's (CFIA), Robin Hood brand Baker's Hood All Purpose Flour is now being recalled due to possible E. coli O121 contamination.
The recall has extended to these 20 kilogram bags of flour after several updates to the initial recall of Robin Hood brand All Purpose Flour announced on March 28.
According to Health Canada, there have been reported illnesses associated with the flour, however, at this time, there have been no confirmed illnesses associated with the product identified in this Food Recall Warning.
The recall was triggered by findings by the CFIA during an investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak. The CFIA says it's verifying that the industry is removing the recalled product from the marketplace.
