 The Party Rainbow Chip Cake Mix and Carrot Cake Mix were added to
the recall after a General Mills supplier used Wondra flour, which
was recalled on July 1, to manufacture flavored chips that are used
in these mixes.
In June, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that
flour produced at a General Mills plant in Kansas City, Missouri,
was probably the source of an E.Coli outbreak that had sickened 38
people in 20 U.S. states.
About half of the 38 sickened people reported cooking with flour
before becoming ill, General Mills previously said. About half of
this group reported using a General Mills brand.
No illnesses reported to date have been connected to the cake mix
brands, General Mills said in a statement on Monday, adding that
none of the company's other mixes were included in this recall.
