Don't you love it when you get an e-coli food recall notice about two months after you purchased the food?

I just received an email from Walmart telling me that the two bags of King Arthur flour I purchased two months ago might be contaminated with e-coli and that I should throw it away.

Of course, one of the bags of flour had been partially used. Honestly, do they think we don't USE the food we purchase?

I'm surprised they don't charge extra for the "added ingredients". At least the open bag should be ok, you have already tested it. The unopened one should be returned for a refund and let them test is.

@bowman81 I think I will return both. I feel so barfy when I see that I've already used part of the flour, and I have no idea if the e-coli is in the bottom of that same bag.

@4meAndyou It seems that we routinely eat salads and such that get recalled long after they are gone....and are left wondering if we had the particular "lot numbers" in question.

@bowman81 Exactly. Remember the romaine lettuce scare a year or so ago? How many people could, potentially, die from delayed notifications?
