I've been eating cheerios as a night time snack for the past ... week and a half? And I've been dealing with upset stomachs, nausea, diarrhea, and weird tasting burps since. It was especially bad yesterday, to the point I almost called out of work.

my cereal dry, I don't like milk.

I switched from the name brand to an aldi store brand and in a literal day I've started to feel better. The only change to my diet was the cheerios. Now that I'm not eating General Mills, I'm fine. Something's definitely up.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Burping

bars, and other items from General Mills, I guess I need to throw out all General Mills items immediately!?. I am located at 34983 Florida. I have been eating the General Mills cereal since I was a young child and now I’m in my 40s and had to brain surgeries already and remaining brain tumors. I see there are others like me, and with this brand, possibly being the cause of brain tumors, I am concerned.

Ate from a new box of lucky charms around 1:30pm, started having looser stools (not liquid) and bad nausea around 9:00pm. the nausea is so bad it’s hard to sleep. i also started experiencing mild chills around midnight, but no fever. EDIT ~24 hrs later: i had … See More
a couple of smaller bowel movements today, still not 100% back to my normal consistency. i only had a bout or two of mild nausea today as well. i have mostly been sleeping it off. i am starting to feel a bit hungry again, but i’m honestly afraid to eat anything because i don’t want to risk upsetting my stomach again. EDIT ~48 hours later: i drank almost two bottles of water today, and ate some saltines. the saltines made me mildly nauseated so i only ate about 5-6. later on i felt hungry again so i ate a few more. it ended up making me very nauseous. not sure why i’m still experiencing issues. i have had a headache almost all day long most likely from not eating much or being a little bit dehydrated or both. i reached out to general mills about this issue and they are evidently not going to look into it further. all they did was offer compensation for the box of cereal i bought.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Chills, Fever, Headache, Dehydration

have been having diarrhea all day today since consuming. I feel like General mills changed their formula on making these and added different ingredients because this never used to happen.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea

Lucky Charms, Franklin, VT, USA

I ate a bowl of Lucky Charms around 5 pm two days ago and an hour later my stomach started to hurt. From 1 am to 4 pm I had bad diarrhea and bad lower abdominal pain. Everything was coming out green and I still have lower … See More
abdominal pain. I know this was not a virus because my temperature was fine I had no chills or fatigue. It was just diarrhea and stomach pain like you had food poisoning. The FDA really needs to do something about this! All these reports are so similar and General Mills doesn’t want to do a recall because of money.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Stomach Pain

General Mills today announced a voluntary national recall of two-, five- and 10-pound bags of its Gold Medal Unbleached and Bleached All Purpose Flour with a “better if used by” date of March 27, 2024, and March 28, 2024. The recall is being issued for the potential … See More
presence of Salmonella Infantis, which was discovered during sampling of the five-pound bag product. Consumers reminded that flour is not a ready-to-eat ingredient.

This recall affects two date codes of Gold Medal Unbleached All Purpose Flour in the five- and ten pound bags and two date codes of Gold Medal Bleached All Purpose Flour in the two- and five-pound bags. All other types of Gold Medal Flour are not affected by this recall.

Consumers are asked to check their pantries and dispose of the product affected by this recall. Consumers who have had to discard products covered by this recall may contact General Mills Consumer Relations.

Guidance from the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control(CDC) warn that consumers should refrain from consuming any raw products made with flour. Salmonella Infantisis killed by heat through baking, frying, sautéing or boiling products made with flour. All surfaces, hands and utensils should be properly cleaned after contact with flour or dough. This voluntary recall includes the following code dates currently in stores or consumers’ pantries:

- Gold Medal Unbleached All Purpose 5LB Flour, Package UPC: 000-16000-19610, Recalled Better if Used by Date: 27MAR2024 and 28MAR2024
- Gold Medal Unbleached All Purpose 10LB Flour, Package UPC: 000-16000-19580, Recalled Better if Used by Date: 27MAR2024 and 28MAR2024
- Gold Medal Bleached All Purpose 2LB Flour, Package UPC: 000-16000-10710, Recalled Better if Used by Date: 27MAR2024 and 28MAR2024
- Gold Medal Bleached All Purpose 5LB Flour, Package UPC: 000-16000-10610, Recalled Better if Used by Date: 27MAR2024 and 28MAR2024

In case you are experiencing Salmonella symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

Company name: General Mills
Brand name: Gold Medal
Product recalled: All Purpose Flour, bleached and unbleached
Reason of the recall: Potential to be contaminated with Salmonella
