Why not?
This has become a very popular chumra in Israel in the past few years.
In fact, for the past few years the major bakeries accommodated this
chumra. Flour used in baking is washed before used which may make it
into chametz. Therefore, the major bakeries (Angel's, Berman's, etc.)
use only unwashed flour right after Pesach until they receive flour
that was ground after Pesach. If you go to the Charedi supermarkets
you will see that things like pretzels, pasta, etc. all say that they
were made from flour ground after Pesach (these appeared already on
Monday 2 days after the end of Pesach) again to avoid using flour that
was sold.
