King Arthur Flour has expanded their voluntary national recall of specific lots of its Unbleached All-Purpose Flour due to the potential presence of E. coli.

King Arthur issued a voluntary recall of select 5lb bags King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour. ADM Milling Co., a supplier of King Arthur flour, informed the company that there was a link between an ongoing outbreak of E. coli infections. To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with King Arthur flour.

The flour affected by this voluntary recall is King Arthur’s Unbleached All-Purpose Flour in the 5-pound and 25-pound bags (these larger bags were only sold through Costco stores). It was milled prior to February 2019 at an ADM Milling facility in Buffalo, NY and was distributed through retailers and distributors nationwide, and sold through the company’s website, catalog, and store in Norwich, VT.

You can find the information on the bottom of the side panel of the bag located just below the nutrition facts panel.

A complete list of the Lot Codes and Best Used by Dates affected can be seen on King Arthur’s recall page. To find your product’s Best Used By and Lot Code information, check the bottom of the ingredient side panel of the 5 lb. bag. Both the Best Used By date and the Lot Code must all match in order to be affected by this recall.

Consumers who have flour from any of these affected lots should return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund. You may also choose to dispose of the flour and submit a claim for a refund or replacement by clicking on the blue “Recall Assistance” button on King Arthur’s recall page, or by calling the Consumer Hotline at 866-797-9178.
