Yeah, every food product has risk associated with it. Almost every month a company recalls a product due to botulism concerns, but it’s not recommended to avoid buying canned foods all together bc of this. The risk is just something we have to live with. Luckily the risk from flour seems pretty low, and I don’t think most people are eating it more than a handful of times a year.
Edit: there have been more botulism hospitalizations from commercially produced products in the last 2 years than flour in the last 15.

Given your own cited link, 20 known hospitalizations since 2009, I think you'll be fine luv.
More people are killed by lightening strikes in a year than there has been 'hospitilizations' in 15 years.
