2. COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT: General Mills today announced a voluntary national

Flour with a “better if used by” date of March 27, 2024, and March 28, 2024. The recall is being

of the five-pound bag product.

ten-pound bags and two date codes of Gold Medal Bleached All Purpose Flour in the two- and 

five-pound bags. All other types of Gold Medal Flour are not affected by this recall. 

Guidance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control 

(CDC) warn that consumers should refrain from consuming any raw products made with flour.

with flour. All surfaces, hands and utensils should be properly cleaned after contact with flour or 

dough.
