Possible E. coli concerns prompt national recall of bags of Robin Hood flour
Concerns about people getting ill from possible E. coli contamination have triggered a national food recall warning about a popular brand of flour.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says 10,000, 10-kilogram bags of Robin Hood Original All Purpose Flour are being recalled by Smucker Foods of Canada.
“The risk is defined high enough that we want to make sure that consumers are aware of it,” Fred Jamieson, a CFIA food safety recall specialist, said Wednesday.
“We don’t want them to continue consuming the product. We want them to throw it out or take it back to retail and to encourage people if they aren’t feeling well to seek medical aid.”
