I am eager to read what others have to say, because in over 50 years of
cooking I have never seen what you describe. While I think it is better not
to walk away and leave most food products open to the air and creatures,
flour tends to be a fairly stable food and I would be surprised to see such
alteration within a few hours.

I presume when you say wheat flour you mean a whole grain flour? Integrale?
