Pillsbury flour recalled due to salmonella fears
Pillsbury parent Hometown Food Co. is conducting a nationwide recall of flour packaged under the popular Pillsbury brand due to concerns the product may be contaminated with salmonella.
The Food and Drug Administration alerted consumers to the flour recall in a tweet on Monday. The agency urged consumers not to eat the recalled product sold at retailers including Publix and Winn-Dixie.
Both grocery chains posted recall information on their websites, with Publix's notice stating roughly 12,185 cases of the product had been distributed nationwide. It wasn't clear how many packages are included in a case.
Publix and Winn-Dixie said five-pound bags of "Pillsbury Unbleached All Purpose Flour" were affected, all containing expiration dates of April 19, 2020, or April 20, 2020, and containing the lot numbers 8292 or 8293.
