On November 1, 2019, King Arthur Flour announced an update regarding specific lots of Unbleached All-Purpose Flour (5 lb.) which were referenced in the October 3rd recall expansion.
King Arthur Flour, Inc. was notified by ADM Milling Co. that three additional product lot codes of Unbleached All-Purpose Flour 5 lb. were omitted from the original data they provided for the press release on October 3, 2019. The additional lot codes and their corresponding “Best Used By” dates are listed below:
Best Used by Date 12/09/19: Lot codes L18A09A & L18A09C
Best Used by Date 01/08/20: Lot code A19A08A
This new information only applies to “Best Used By” dates already disclosed in the prior release. No additional Best Used By dates are introduced as a result of these three updated lot codes.
King Arthur Flour has not received any confirmed reports of illnesses to date related to this product.
Best Used By and Lot Code information can be found on the bottom of the ingredient side panel of the 5 lb. bag. Best Used By date and Lot Code, along with their location on the bag, must all match in order to represent flour affected by this recall.
