General Mills voluntarily recalled several types of Gold Medal flour for potential Salmonella contamination on Friday after the risk was identified during a random sampling of the 5-pound flour bags.
The 2-pound, 5-pound, and 10-pound bags of both bleached and unbleached Gold Medal all-purpose flour are subject to the recall.
Salmonella infections are most commonly caused by improper cleaning of food manufacturing tools and cooktops and from consuming raw or undercooked food.
Per the FDA, cooking, baking, boiling, and frying kill Salmonella.
According to the CDC, an estimated 1.35 million people get infected with Salmonella every year. Common symptoms include fever, intense indigestion, abdominal pain, and nausea, which can appear within six hours of eating contaminated food, but can also take up to six days to show up.
This isn't the first time General Mills has dealt with an outbreak.
In May 2016, General Mills recalled 10 million pounds of flour due to an E. Coli scare.
Thirty-eight people across 20 states reported feeling sick after consuming the brand's uncooked flour. After a few months, the recalled quantity grew to 45 million pounds after investigators detected E. coli in flour obtained from customers.
