Wegmans All-Purpose Flour Recalled

Wegmans has issued a recall of its Wegmans brand all-purpose bleached flour because the flour may contain small blue polyurethane balls.

Do you think the trip to Wegmans is worth it? Or do you shop at a grocery store more close to home in Ekridge? Tell us in comments.

In its announcement, Wegmans said the balls are from the product's sifting equipment and are made of flexible food grade material. The balls are not sharp, but due to their bright blue color are easily seen in the flour, according to Wegmans.

All flour bags sold between Dec. 24, 2012 and Feb. 15, 2013 of this brand are being recalled. The flour may be returned for a full refund, said Wegmans.
