Illness Dangers from Flour<\/h3>\n

Flour is typically a raw agricultural product. This means it hasn\u2019t been treated to kill germs like Escherichia coli (E. coli).<\/em> Harmful germs can contaminate grain while it\u2019s still in the field or at other steps as flour is produced. The bacteria are killed when food made with flour is cooked. This is why you should never taste or eat raw dough or batter\u2014whether made from recalled flour or any other flour.<\/p>\n
