Reason for recall
The product was made with flour supplied by Ardent Mills who issued a recall on flour products due to possible E. coli 0121 contamination.
Some strains of E. coli, such as O157:H7, produce a toxin that can cause severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea and, in a small number of cases, kidney failure.
