Once I put the flour in my canister, I have no idea what the bag said about dates, lot #s, etc.
I don’t think I bought Pillsbury... but maybe. More likely the store brand.
Would BAKING kill the salmonella/remove the risk?
well, I guess Pillsbury’s isn’t the first - Gold Medal back in Jan.
CDC says don’t risk it. The below article says you can kill salmonella by baking. You’d have to disinfect anything that the raw flour touches, tho - bowls, cutting board, utensils, countertops, floors, (cupboard where the container sits) etc.
Salmonella is destroyed by heat. Don’t eat uncooked dough, cookie dough, donuts, pancakes or muffins
160 degrees kills salmonella. Unless you eat raw flour out of that sack or don’t wash your hands to get the sticky dough off, you should be fine.
Yes it will, how many actually eat flour uncooked I wonder? Just be sure and wash hands after handling raw. :)
I’m not even going to share WHY all the baking recipes say to use “sifted flour”. It’s not really needed to sift it, but there used to be a real reason why everyone did.
