If the Lot Code and Best Use By Date are NOT printed on the side of the bag under the nutrition panel—but rather elsewhere on the bag—then the bag is not part of the voluntary recall.

Summary of Recall:  King Arthur Flour are voluntarily recalling a limited number of 5-lb King Arthur All-Purpose Flour and 5-lb King Arthur Bread Flour bags because of the possible presence of food-safe polyurethane balls that passed through sifter screens in the milling process.  Small, polyurethane balls approximately 7mm to 9mm (1/4" to 3/8") in size may have dropped into bags during the final sifting stage of the milling process. The balls have a smooth surface and no sharp edges and are made from food grade material. Because of their bright blue color and size (about half the diameter of a dime), they are easily seen in the flour.

Only 5-lb. bags of King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour and King Arthur Unbleached Bread Flour that have a Best Used By Date and Lot Codes noted above are affected. This information is printed on the side of the bag beneath the nutrition panel. If the Best Used By Date and Lot Code number are printed on the TOP of the bag, then the product is NOT affected.
