Following Aldi’s Baker Corners’ flour recall last month the King Arthur flour brand has issued a recall on over 14,000 cases of 5-pound bags of Unbleached All-Purpose Flour.
King Arthur Flour Brand issued the recall after being informed by ADM Milling Co. that certain wheat used to make their flour had been linked to an ongoing outbreak of E. coli infections. On May 24 the
CDC
