The Rhode Island Department of Health discovered, during testing of a five-pound bag of Baker’s Corner All Purpose Flour, the presence of E. coli 026. As a result, ADM Milling Co. is expanding its recall from 2 lots to all five-pound bags of Baker’s Corner All Purpose Flour packaged for ALDI in select markets. The strain of E. coli found in the flour is linked to 17 illnesses in 11 states (Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and West Virginia). ADM Milling is working directly with ALDI, which has already recalled all potentially impacted products from store shelves in the region. ADM Milling is conducting an in-depth investigation to determine the cause of the contamination and is working closely with regulators throughout this process. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/adm-milling-expands-recall-bakers-corner-all-purpose-flour-5lb-bags-packaged-aldi-select-states?utm_campaign=ADM%20Milling%20Expands%20Recall%20of%20Baker%E2%80%99s%20Corner%20All%20Purpose%20Flour%205lb%20Bags&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua

The recall of select Southern States® feed due to aflatoxin levels that exceed the FDA’s action levels is being expanded by Cargill’s animal nutrition. This is an expansion of the recall initiated May 6, 2019, and is the result of Cargill’s internal investigation that identified additional products containing an ingredient provided from the same supplier referenced in the May 6, 2019 recall announcement. The expansion includes products manufactured between October 31, 2018, and March 1, 2019. Cargill has received a small number of adverse event reports. These reports are currently being investigated to determine if they are related to the recalled feed. The following affected products were manufactured at Cargill’s Cleveland, North Carolina, facility and are being recalled from retail outlets and distributors in the Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia markets. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/cargill-expands-previously-announced-voluntary-recall-select-southern-statesr-feed-due?utm_campaign=Cargill%20Expands%20Previously%20Announced%20Voluntary%20Recall%20of%20Select%20Southern%20States%C2%AE%20Feed&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua

The FDA, the CDC, and state and local partners are investigating a multistate outbreak of E. coli O26 linked to ALDI’s Baker’s Corner flour. The Rhode Island Department of Health collected and analyzed an unopened sample of this flour and determined that the flour contained E. coli O26. On May 22, 2019, ALDI and ADM Milling Co. announced a recall of the flour which was supplied by an ADM Milling Co. production facility in Buffalo, N.Y. On May 23, 2019, ADM Milling Co. announced an expansion of the recall. The products were distributed in select stores in the following states: Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and West Virginia. ALDI also expanded its recall. On May 24, 2019, DNA analysis conducted by CDC found that the E. coli in the unopened sample of flour was closely related by WGS to the strain of E. coli O26 that has caused an outbreak affecting 17 people in 8 states. @ https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-e-coli-o26-linked-aldi-bakers-corner-flour-may-2019?utm_campaign=Outbreak%20E.%20Coli%20Aldi%20Bakers%20Corner%20Flour%2005242019&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua
