OTTAWA – The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is issuing a recall for the Robin Hood brand of all-purpose flour sold in Western Canada due to possible E. coli contamination.

In a statement Tuesday, the agency says Smucker Foods of Canada Corp. is recalling 10-kilogram bags of Robin Hood all-purpose flour with the best before date of April 17, 2018.

It says the flour was sold in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

The agency says the recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where it was purchased.

The CFIA says food contaminated with E. coli may not look or smell spoiled, but can still make you sick.
