<\/p>\nWe had\u00a0an interesting experience yesterday when my wife opened a newly-purchased sack of Bakers Roses flour (formerly labeled Bakers Five Roses flour), produced by ADM. It has been the best flour for baking bread and\u00a0much else. But this time, we had a surprise in store for us. Chunks of something that looked rather like drywall, with strange green and orange spots on the outside, took up a good proportion of the bag\u2019s contents:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I would really love to figure out what the stuff might have been. Could it be chunks of some chemicals that are normally combined with the flour in small quantities, but which somehow ended up in this bag in larger unprocessed amounts? Could it be caked-on and moldy flour from the wall of some processing vat? Could it be something else?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
We returned the bag to the store and got a refund, but\u00a0there is more that we would like to know, and despite having written to ADM, we have not received an answer as to what may have been in the bag of flour. (They did respond to e-mails, but made clear that they don\u2019t deal with customers like us directly, but only with the stores that buy\u00a0and then resell their products).<\/p>\n
Have any of you ever found something strange in a bag of flour\u00a0-or any other food item you bought, for that matter? What was it? What did you do about it? Did the company in question resolve the matter to your satisfaction?<\/p>\n
