FLOUR RECALL

This has been in the news since last December and all affected flour, cake mixes, cookies, etc. were removed promptly  from grocery shelves and signs were put up informing customers to return or throw out these products.  Maybe it’s because I live in a top 10 city but it continues to be on the news monthly.  At this point I wouldn’t worry about ice cream or refrigerated cookie products.   

So, now I am thinking. What are they going to do or are they going to do anything for all the people that have had to go to doctors & have been deathly ill, have had to pay for doctor visits, prescriptions & the risks of being so ill??? Fortunately, I do have health insurance & prescription coverage however I am disabled and am in constant pain everyday due to my disability & I had to go thru further pain by getting e coli due to negligence? I must say I was very scared when I was this sick as I didn’t know what was going on & I have no relatives near me & do not know my neighbors and was alone when it happened & it came on me in the evening and by night I was so sick, high fever & in excruciating pain but I just laid in bed & prayed for morning to come so I could call my doctor for advice & help. I would have called an ambulance if it would have gotten way out of hand as I have been in that predicament before but I was scared being alone….. However, I just feel really bad for the uninsured & people that cannot afford medication & have hard time paying for their food & then they have to worry what they can afford to buy will make them sick????? Something must be done…….

I just recieved an automated call on my answer machine from Sam’s club with all these item numbers stating that I purchased that had flour in them that possibly had e coli in them. Well, guess what? I have no idea what items they are as they only gave numbers not the name of the product & 2 months ago while my hubby was away I actually was home alone & suffered a horrible case of e coli and could not figure out at all how I got it? I was fine that day, I went out to lunch with my sister and by evening was so sick & with terrible fever & pain & had to wait until the morning to call a doctor and have lab work done & it confirmed e coli & all this time I have been wondering how could I have gotten e coli??? I had to take RX for 5 days I guess I was lucky it wasn’t worse as I was alone and have no one near that could have helped me but now this morning 2 months later mystery is solved! Sam’s club call with e coli recalls!!!! Makes one scared to eat anymore………

YES I HEARD AND IT COULD BE IN THE SLICE N  BAKE DOUGH YOU GET AT THE STORE.AND A  RECALL ON CARS FROM 2001 FOR AIR BAGS CAN  YOU BELIEVE IT .

I hope everyone has signed up for the recalls.I just got a notice that even more of the flour that you might have in your cabinet has also been recalled.I will post just a little of it but you will need to sign up or just read at fda website for more info…I just want everyone to stay safe.:womanwink:

General Mills of Minneapolis, MN, continues to collaborate with health officials to investigate a multistate outbreak of E. coli O121, and is expanding its recall of Gold Medal flour, Wondra flour, and Signature Kitchens flour to include flour made earlier in the fall that may still be in consumers’ pantries. The recall is being expanded due to a newly-reported illness that appears to have stemmed from the consumption of raw dough or batter linked to flour produced last fall.

I LIVE NEAR SO MANY FRUIT ORCHARDS  THAT IS GREAT . THEY TEND TO SELL HOME MADE APPLE BUTTER  JELLYS AND  BEE POLLEN  . WE ARE ADVISED TO BUY LOCAL FRUITS AND VEGETABLES   AND TRY TO HAVE A GARDEN .  THERE ARE SOME THAT SELL HOME GROWN POTATOES   AND O MY THEY  TASTE SO FRESH . 

I am beginning to wonder if anything is safe anymore.

Good thing I don’t eat Twinkies and all those other sweets.

I know a lot of young children love them and they should not

have to worry about what they eat.
