Oh my goodness, this is a flour I used to make sourdough bread. I used it to feed my starter, make my bread recipes, and it was in my discard recipes too.
I started making sourdough to have a healthier bread that I would know what ingredients are in it…….Ugh!!
Organic flour, Trader Joe’s lead free sea salt suggested by Tamara, and wild yeast from my kitchen. Sad that Cadmium was in my bread too!!
Thanks Tamara for your hard work and help.
Very Concerning. I use King Arthurs Chocolate and Yellow cake mixes for my grandchildren who are gluten sensitive. Any results for these items as well?
We will be testing more products from this brand.

Hi Tamara! After reading your post, I noticed you said that the cadmium source is usually from the milling machinery parts. What about stone milled varieties? Would you expect those to be a safer alternative?
