Multi-State Recall on This Iconic Pancake Mix Has Just Been Updated to Be 'Deadly'—Here's What to Know
The initial recall notice identifies a limited number of 2-pound boxes of 32-ounce Pearl Milling Company Original Pancake & Waffle Mix as possibly containing 'undeclared milk after being alerted by a retail partner.' The product sports a 'best by date' of September 13, 2025 and UPC number 30000 65040.
Now, according to a February 13 press release, the recall is being defined as 'a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.' Per the FDA, anyone with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk is more likely to experience a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the recalled product.
Boxes of 32-ounce Pearl Milling Company Original Pancake & Waffle Mix were sold as early as November 18, 2024 and distributed to a number of retailers amongst the following states: Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Utah and Wisconsin. Currently, no allergic reactions have been reported in relation to this matter, and no other Pearl Milling company products are being recalled as a result of it.

While the FDA urges consumers not to consume the recalled products and to discard them entirely, those with further questions or concerns about a product in their possession can reach out to Quaker Consumer Relations at 1-800-407-2247 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday.
While this recall is still currently ongoing, it should be worth noting that Frito-Lay is currently knee-deep in a recall of 13-ounce bags of Lay's Classic Potato Chips for the exact same reasons as listed above. This recall was also escalated to the highest risk level possible by the FDA, and can be a clue in a much larger issue in need of immediate ratification.

Ascentage Pharma Announces Global Registrational Phase III Study of Lisaftoclax for First-line Treatment of Patients with Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome Cleared by US FDA and EMA
ROCKVILLE, Md. and SUZHOU, China, Aug. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascentage Pharma (NASDAQ: AAPG; HKEX: 6855), a global, commercial stage, integrated biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of novel, differentiated therapies to address unmet medical needs in cancer, announced that it has received clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to conduct GLORA-4 study (NCT06641414), a global registrational Phase III study of lisaftoclax (APG-2575), a proprietary Bcl-2 inhibitor, in combination with azacitidine (AZA), for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS). This marks the second registrational Phase III study of lisaftoclax to receive clearance from both the FDA and EMA. The GLORA-4 study is simultaneously enrolling patients at participating centers in multiple countries, to accelerate the drug's path to potential market authorization. To date, lisaftoclax is the only Bcl-2 inhibitor being advanced in a registrational Phase III trial in higher-risk MDS globally. This study, if positive, may potentially end the longstanding treatment gap in higher-risk MDS, marking yet another major milestone in the global clinical development of lisaftoclax. Dr. Yifan Zhai, Chief Medical Officer of Ascentage Pharma, said, 'Globally, we still lack targeted therapies for first-line treatment of patients with higher-risk MDS, which represents a huge unmet clinical need. Currently, hypomethylating agents (HMA) and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remain the primary treatment options for higher-risk MDS. In earlier studies, lisaftoclax has demonstrated promising clinical benefit and tolerability. The clearances of the GLORA-4 study by the U.S. FDA and EMA, coinciding with the approval by the China CDE, pave the way for lisaftoclax to potentially become the first Bcl-2 inhibitor approved globally for first-line treatment of higher-risk MDS and the first targeted therapy approved for this indication since the introduction of HMA, which fundamentally reshapes the treatment landscape.' The GLORA-4 trial is being conducted simultaneously in China, the U.S., and Europe. This will significantly accelerate the clinical development of lisaftoclax in MDS and accelerate the drug's path to potential market authorization. Moving forward, we will remain steadfastly committed to our mission of addressing unmet clinical needs in China and around the world, actively advancing our clinical programs for the benefit of more patients.' GLORA-4 is a multi-region, multi-center, randomized, double-blind Phase III trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lisaftoclax in combination with AZA compared to placebo plus AZA in newly diagnosed adult patients with higher-risk MDS. The study was originally approved by the China CDE in 2024. Currently, the study is enrolling patients globally, with the first patients already enrolled in China and Europe. Guillermo Garcia-Manero, MD, Chair of the Department of Leukemia, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC), and Prof. Xiaojun Huang, MD, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, director of the Institute of Hematology at Peking University, and director of the Department of Hematology at Peking University People's Hospital, are global co-leading principal investigators of the study. MDS is a myeloid clonal disease originating from hematopoietic stem cells with strongly age-correlated characteristics. Global epidemiological data of MDS show an exponential increase in incidence with age (22/100,000 in the population aged over 65 years), with a median age of diagnosis of 70 years1. More than 75% of patients with MDS present a complex disease profile that includes at least two comorbidities2. The primary risk of MDS is clonal evolution leading to progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with 40-60% of higher-risk patients (high/very high risk, as classified by IPSS-R) progressing to AML within five years3. These patients have a dismal prognosis and a median survival of less than six months4. As the standard first-line therapy for higher-risk MDS, HMAs offer inadequate responses to treatment, with an overall response rate (ORR) of just 30-40%5, a complete response (CR) rate of 10-17%, and a median duration of response of 9-12 months6, 8. While allo-HSCT can offer a potential cure, it is limited by the median age of patients, complex disease profiles, common depletion of the hematopoietic stem cell reserve, and a transplantation-related mortality (TRM) rate of 25-35%. As a result, only 5-10% of eligible patients can receive transplantation7. The five-year survival rate of patients who are classified by the IPSS-R as high-risk remains at 16-24%8, highlighting an urgent unmet medical need for innovative therapies that can change the treatment paradigm. Lisaftoclax is a proprietary, novel, orally administered Bcl-2 selective inhibitor being developed by Ascentage Pharma to treat patients with malignancies by selectively blocking the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and restoring the normal apoptosis process in cancer cells. Lisaftoclax is already approved in China for adult patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) who have previously received at least one systemic therapy, including Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors. Previously, the Company released the clinical data of lisaftoclax in combination with AZA in treatment-naïve (TN) MDS during the 2024 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. These data showed an ORR of 75%, much higher than HMAs alone, which demonstrated the clinical benefit of the combination regimen. The combination also showed a favorable safety profile, with a low incidence of severe hematologic toxicities and neutropenia-related infections. In addition, the proportion of patients requiring dose adjustments was low and there were no treatment-related mortalities within 60 days9, 10. Professor Huang commented, 'Despite the significant advancement in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, higher-risk MDS remains a major clinical challenge because of a range of factors. First, the current standard of care treatment with HMAs only offers limited efficacy, with just about one-third of patients achieving a response to treatment. Second, no breakthrough therapies have emerged globally in the two decades since the introduction of HMAs. As a result, there is an unmet clinical need for targeted therapies for higher-risk MDS. The compelling response rate and manageable safety profile observed in earlier studies of lisaftoclax are very encouraging. We hope this global Phase III study has the potential to provide new insights that could benefit how we treat and manage higher-risk MDS.' Dr. Garcia-Manero commented, 'Higher-risk MDS is more prevalent in older populations and thus presents unique clinical challenges. These patients often have multiple comorbidities and depleted hematopoietic reserves, making them less tolerant of treatment with particularly high requirement for safety. Preliminary clinical data of lisaftoclax demonstrated notable clinical benefit, with low rates of treatment-related dose adjustments and mortalities while maintaining significant response rates. We hope these characteristics of lisaftoclax will make it a potentially superior treatment option for patients.'
