Wegmans recalls flour after balls are found

Wegmans Food Markets has recalled its house brand of flour because it may contain small, blue polyurethane balls.

The supermarket chain says the 5-pound bags its All-Purpose Bleached Flour may contain the balls, which are part of equipment used to sift the flour. The company says they're made of food-grade material that doesn't contaminate the product and are easily seen because of their bright color and size, about half the diameter of a dime.

The flour was sold between Dec. 24 and Feb. 15. A company spokeswoman says Wednesday there have been no reports of injury or illness.

Packages may be returned to stores for full refunds.
