General Mills Inc. is recalling two flavors of Betty Crocker cake mix sold in the US and one flavor sold in Canada because they use flour that was recalled earlier because it could contain E.coli. The flavors include Betty Crocker Delights Super Moist Party Rainbow Chip Cake Mix, which is called Betty Crocker Super Moist Rainbow Bit Cake Mix in Canada. A General Mills supplier used Wondra flour implicated in a July 1, 2016, recall to make the flavor chips used in the recalled cake mix flavors, the AP reports. No illnesses reported to date have been connected to cake mix. A full list of products included in the flour recall can be found here.
