Select bags of King Arthur Flour have been recalled for possible E. coli contamination.

According to the safety alert posted on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website, 14,218 cases of 5-pound bags unbleached all-purpose flour are a part of the voluntary recall “due to the potential presence of Escherichia coli bacteria (E. coli).”

The recalled unbleached all-purpose flour was distributed through retailers including Target and Walmart, and distributors nationwide. Nearly 114,000 bags of flour are included in the recall.

"King Arthur has been informed by ADM Milling Co. that certain wheat used to make these lots of King Arthur flour has been linked to an ongoing outbreak of E. coli infections," King Arthur said in a statement. "No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with King Arthur flour."

Buffalo, New York-based ADM Milling Co. was also involved with the recent Aldi flour recall.

Last month, Aldi and ADM recalled 5-pound bags of Baker's Corner All Purpose Flour sold at select Aldi stores in 11 states “due to a potential presence of E. coli.”

On May 24, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said health officials were investigating a multistate outbreak of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O26 infections linked to flour packaged by ADM Milling Co. The CDC said in May that the E. coli outbreak had sickened 17 people in eight states.

E. coli infections typically occur three to four days after consuming the bacteria, the CDC says. Severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody) and vomiting can result after five to seven days. In severe cases, patients may get hemolytic uremic syndrome, a type of kidney failure.
