The national recall of flour is expanding again.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency at first just recalled the Robin Hood flour in western Canada then expanded it to the whole country and then to include other brand names produced at Ardent Mills in Ontario. That was because of possible ecoli contamination. Ardent Mills is now adding more items to the list including Robin Hood Best for Blending flour, as well as the brand’s bread and roll mixes.

You can see a list of the various recalled items on the CFIA website at inspection.gc.ca.
