My first thought, like an idiot, "can cows eat flour?" Yeah mate, that's all they eat...

Even cattle are eating too much processed foods these days!

I was concerned in case the cow missed the flour bag warnings:

SAFE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS: Raw flour is not ready-to-eat and must be thoroughly cooked before eating to prevent illness from bacteria in the flour. Do not eat or play with raw dough; wash hands, utensils, and surfaces after handling.

COOK BEFORE SNEAKING A TASTE - FLOUR IS RAW - PLEASE COOK FULLY BEFORE ENJOYING

I guess I should be posting this on the cows community from where it was cross posted but anybody know whether those warnings are cow relevant?

Yes, it's as dangerous for the cow as for the human. Because flour is expected to be cooked, it's not held to the same standard as foods expected to be eaten raw, and it's very possibly contaminated with pathogens. Cows have some protection against certain strains of e coli, but not salmonella.
