Ha. I'm gonna spin the wheel and see what happens.
Flour contains fat, which becomes rancid.
Even in the freezer it won't last that long.
I also know people that are sensitive to American flour unless it's organic, I also know people that can eat all the bread they want in Europe as supposedly they have widespread use of non-gmo wheat that doesn't undergo heavy pesticide/herbicide/fungicide treatment when in the field like in America

Glyphosate (active ingredient in Roundup) has been used for a long time as a burn down herbicide in wheat production. Conventional (aka nonorganic) farmers spray their fields while the wheat is still green to dry out the crop so it can be harvested faster so they can plant again before the season ends.
There are other burn down herbicides but Monsanto helped pave the way for increased profits by touting this.
Monsanto at one time tried a GMO Roundup-ready wheat, but once they realized they could make money on the use of roundup as a burn down, they pulled that GMO wheat from testing. Not before it escaped to Montana and Oregon, mind you.
Organic flour still has pesticides but not glyphosate. There are many pesticides labeled for organic use but glyphosate is not and never will be one of them. Glyphosate has been shown to interfere with our gut microbiome and in different people that can manifest in different ways.
If you think you have an iron gut, eat all the conventional food you want. Congrats.
However, I get so tired of the people cramming down the misleading narrative that conventional food has the same nutritional value as organic. Vitamins aren't the issue. The chemical residue is. If you feel better eating food that wasn't sprayed with glyphosate, you may have found the issue.
So if the herbicide/pesticide was gmo then it was sprayed onto non gmo wheat so technically that wheat is considered gmo (assuming the wheat absorbs it)?
Typically, herbicides & pesticides are chemicals. As such, they are not organisms so they can't be gmo or non-gmo, and they're not something that can modify the genes of a plant or animal in any sort of controlled means.
A good example is the "Roundup Resistant Wheat" that farmers grow. The genes that make the wheat resistant to roundup came from a bacteria called Agrobacterium. Scientists found the genes that allowed it to not get killed from the herbicide, and spliced them into wheat, and other crops. This allowed farmers to kill all the weeds in the crop fields without killing the wheat.
I'm not sure where I fell into that rabbit hole, but I'm out now
The bottom line, the seed that gets planted is the sole determining factor if a crop is gmo or not.
The use of herbicides or pesticides would determine if it can or cannot be considered Organically farmed. If you use them, it's not organic farming.
Hope this helps.
