Recall On Pearl Milling Company Pancake Mix Just Upgraded To ‘Deadly' Risk
Before you plan on pancakes for Saturday brunch, you may want to check the label on any boxes of dry mix in your pantry. When the Quaker Oats Company first announced a voluntary recall of Pearl Milling Company Original Pancake & Waffle Mix in January 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration deemed it 'pending classification," per their protocols. On February 13, the government agency upgraded the recall to a Class I—the highest risk level—to determine that the pancake and waffle mix posed a 'reasonable probability' of 'serious adverse health consequences or death.' The recall of this popular dry mix, formerly known as the brand Aunt Jemima, affected 10,000 two-pound boxes that may have contained milk, though not advertised on the packaging. The products were distributed to Arkansas, Kentucky, and Mississippi, as well as seven other states, with sales as early as November 18, 2024. Here's what to look for: A UPC code of 30000 65040 A best-by date of September 13, 2025 According to the FDA announcement, Quaker Oats—parent company of Pearl Milling Company—decided to recall the product after 'being alerted by a retail partner' of the issue. For those with a milk allergy or severe sensitivity, the undeclared ingredient could cause a life-threatening or deadly allergic reaction if consumed. So far, there have not been any reports of illness. If anyone in your household has a milk allergy, Quaker urges that you discard the recalled mix immediately. In addition, any consumers who have purchased the product can contact Quaker Consumer Relations at 1-800-407-2247. This is the only Pearl Milling Company product affected. Sounds like some good ol' fashioned from-scratch pancakes may be in order—with your milk of choice, of course. Read the original article on Southern Living
