- General Mills (NYSE:GIS +0.6%) says it added additional flour production dates to the previously announced U.S. retail flour recall after four new illnesses linked to E. coli were reported.
- The company says the illnesses in question continue to be connected with consumers reporting that they ate or handled uncooked dough or ate uncooked batter made with raw flour.
- E.coli has been detected in a small number of General Mills flour samples and some have been linked to new patient illnesses that fell outside of the previously recalled dates.
- General Mills says it isn't sure if the issue is isolated to its flour or is an issue across the flour industry.
