There is a current recall for 5- and 10-pound bags of Unbleached Gold Medal Flour and 2-and 5-pound bags of Bleached Gold Medal Flour with better-if-used-by dates of March 27, 2024, and March 28, 2024. Throw away recalled flour, and never eat uncooked flour, which is a raw ingredient. To safely heat-treat flour at home, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, spread the flour 3/4 inches deep or less on a baking sheet, and bake for six minutes. CAES News
