GENERAL MILLS RECALLS 10 MILLION POUNDS OF FLOUR OVER E. COLI OUTBREAK

This E. coli outbreak is caused by the strain O121, which causes cramps, bloody diarrhea, vomiting and can potentially lead to a life-threatening situation. The Centers for Disease Control noted that most people who became ill with this particular strain recall baking something homemade prior to becoming ill.

Several in this group noted that they have used the General Mills brand of flour. It was also noted that many of those who presented symptoms of E. coli had also eaten raw dough or batter while making their homemade treats, which General Mills specifically advises against.

Minn. Lawmakers Discuss Controversial Bathroom Bill

There was an emotional hearing at the State Capitol Tuesday on a bill to ban transgender people from using bathrooms that do not match their biological sex.

It is supported by parents who said they are worried about the safety of their children.

“Anyone can use any bathroom or locker room that they choose,” said Emily Zinos, a mother of five from St. Paul. “And that’s a situation ripe for abuse by those who have the intention of harming children.”

Dozens of people showed up wearing buttons that read, “No Boys In Girls Bathrooms,” or “No Hate In Our State.”

Transgender Minnesotans told their stories of daily discrimination.

“I’m a person just like every single one of you,” said Andrew Dodge, a high school student from Minneapolis. “And I want to live.”

Riah Roe, of Minneapolis, also defended her rights at the hearing.
