  • Given the three spoilers, I was expecting far worse.

    I guarantee you have seen way more (and worse!) than I have. I’ll admit the triple spoiler was for dramatic effect. Though most people really don’t like knowing what can be in their food, and I try to let them live in blissful ignorance of the supply chain.

    I cook frequently so how food gets contaminated is how I learned about flour. I don’t think it’s any more or less contaminated relative to, say, vegetables. It’s more about flour’s ubiquity and used in larger quantities in recipes that make it riskier than other ingredients. Add in that many of those recipes are sweet treats (like sugar cookie dough) that are begging to be eaten raw, and you have the perfect storm for higher rates of food poisoning.

    However I have eaten raw cookie dough many times without prepping flour and didn’t get sick, so YMMV. :friend-visitor-4:
