    This is the problem with keeping flour in a canister! Bag is long gone….

      I have the same issue. 🙁

      I cut the info from the bag and tape it to the bottom of the canister. I just switch it out each time I open a new bag. It’s come in handy many times.

      Ditto.

      They said to contact their customer service number if that’s the case. The recall is voluntary and nothing has happened so far – but I’m sure they’re doing something to resolve those issues. They have great CS.

    Costco and Kroger has a recall on the frozen triple berry.

    Neither of my bags have lot numbers anywhere 🤷🏻‍♀️ so the bags are going back.

    • Susan

      Same here. I couldn’t find a lot number at all but the date matches the recall so it is on my counter ready to be returned next time I head to the grocery store.
