Robin Hood brand All Purpose Flour has been recalled for a possible E. coli O121 contamination.
The affected product is limited to the 10 kg bag of original flour with a best before date of April 17, 2018, and was sold in stores in BC, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
The recall was issued by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency during an investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak.
“The CFIA is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products,” CFIA officials wrote in a release.
An update from Health Canada on Wednesday said there were 25 reported cases of E.coli in Canada.
They said food contaminated by E. coli doesn’t look spoiled, but it can still make you sick.
Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, mild to severe abdominal cramps and watery to bloody diarrhea. If you think you have become sick, CFIA advises you to call your doctor immediately.
The CFIA said it will be ensuring that the affected Robin Hood Flour products are removed from the shelves, and will be continuing its investigation.
