American food product manufacturer General Mills has recalled about 4.5 million kilograms of flour. General Mills announced the flour recall because of a possible link to E. coli infections in 20 states, reported the Associated Press. Escherichia coli are bacteria found in the environment. The bacteria are often harmless. But some stronger forms of E. coli can make people sick. They can cause diarrhea and dehydration. The company’s recall was announced on May 31. In the United States, a food recall means that inspectors identified one or more problems with a product. The General Mills recall is for several kinds of Gold Medal and Signature Kitchens flour. Those products were sold at Safeway, Albertsons and other stores. Much of the recalled flour was produced at the company’s factory in Kansas City, Missouri, the AP said. General Mills said E. coli has not been found in any of its flour products.
