Quaker Oats' recall on product elevated to highest FDA level due to risk of ‘death'
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has elevated The Quaker Oats Company's recall of a pancake mix to the highest risk level. In its latest weekly update, the FDA shared an update about a limited number of Pearl Milling Company Original Pancake & Waffle Mix boxes, which were first recalled in January because they may have contained undeclared milk. According to a press release shared last month, the pancake mix was first available for purchase on November 18, 2024, and it was sold at retailers in 11 different states. This recall has now received a Class I classification, meaning it's '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,' according to the FDA. The Original Pancake and Waffle Mix in the recall was sold in two-pound cardboard boxes. Its UPC code is 30000 65040, and its best-by date is Sept. 13, 2025. The mix, formerly sold as Aunt Jemima pancake mix, was sent to stores in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Utah, and Wisconsin. In its initial press release, the FDA noted that consumers with 'an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume' pancake mix. However, there haven't been any allergic reactions linked to the recalled product. A handful of recalls have been recently classified as Class I. Earlier this month, five products from a Cal Yee Farm's recall — Yogurt Coated Almonds, Dark Chocolate Apricots, Dark Chocolate Raisins, Tropical Trail Mix, and Dark Chocolate Walnuts — were given a Class 1 classification for containing undeclared milk. The New Orleans Hot Mix and Hot Cajun Sesame Sticks were also considered a Class 1 recall, due to undeclared wheat and soybean oil. Last month, Bags of Lay's Classic Potato Chip received an elevated recall status, making it a Class 1. The FDA first announced in December that Frito-Lay issued a recall on a 'limited number' of the 13 oz bags of chips because they 'may contain undeclared milk.' There's been a range of other nationwide food recalls throughout 2025. Earlier this month, 2,0176,614 cases of different baked goods from FGF, LLC were recalled due to the 'potential for contamination with listeria monocytogenes.' Union Seafoods also recently announced a voluntary recall of select canned tuna products sold under the Genova, Van Camp's, H-E-B, and Trader Joe's brands. These products were distributed nationwide at retailers such as Walmart, Trader Joe's, Costco, Kroger, and Publix. According to the press release, Tri-Union Seafoods initiated the recall after its supplier discovered a manufacturing defect in the tuna cans' 'easy open' lids. The defect could 'compromise the integrity of the product seal (especially over time), causing it to leak, or worse, be contaminated with clostridium botulinum,' a bacteria that causes foodborne botulism and can be fatal.

Chocolate recall elevated to highest risk level by FDA due to risk of 'adverse health consequences'
A major chocolate recall has been upgraded to the highest possible risk level. Last month, Cal Yee Farm LCC issued a recall on its chocolate and yogurt covered products, since they may have contained undeclared substances, including milk, soy, wheat, sesame, almonds, FD&C #6, a synthetic dye used in foods. Customers with an allergy or severe sensitivity to these things 'run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions.' The FDA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, has now updated the classification of the recall. Five products from Cal Yee Farm's recall — Yogurt Coated Almonds, Dark Chocolate Apricots, Dark Chocolate Raisins, Tropical Trail Mix, and Dark Chocolate Walnuts — have been given a Class 1 classification for containing undeclared milk. According to the FDA, Class 1, which is the highest level of a recall, is '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.' Many other products from Cal Yee Farm that were a part of the initial recall: Butter Toffee, Almonds, Mango with Chili, Hot Cajun Sesame Sticks, New Orleans Hot Mix, and two fruit baskets. The New Orleans Hot Mix and Hot Cajun Sesame Sticks are also now considered a Class 1 recall, due to undeclared wheat and soybean oil. The products were distributed in nine states: Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Tennessee. They were sold through Cal Yee Farm's retail stores in California and online orders. The recalled items were in clear, plastic zippered pouches that were either eight ounces, one pound, two pounds, or five pounds in size, with a bright yellow label at the front. There has been no illness reported due to this product. The recall was initiated after the FDA inspected Cal Yee Farm's facility. The inspection discovered 'that products containing milk, soy, wheat, sesame, FD&C #6 and almonds were distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of milk, soy, wheat, sesame, FD&C #6 and almonds,' as noted in the initial recall. 2025 has seen a slew of serious recalls. On January 27, Bags of Lay's Classic Potato Chip received an elevated recall status, making it a Class 1. The FDA first announced on December 18, 2024 that Frito-Lay issued a recall on a 'limited number' of the 13 oz bags of chips. These Lay's Classic Potato Chips bags were recalled because they 'may contain undeclared milk,' which Frito-Lay learned 'after being alerted through a consumer contact.' On January 21, D. Coluccio & Sons announced it was recalling its 300-gram packages of 'Colussi Cantuccini Chocolate Drops' because they may contain undeclared almonds. This poses the risk of 'serious or life-threatening allergic reactions' to consumers with tree nut allergies, per the FDA. The recall was initiated after it 'was discovered that the almond-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of almonds.' A subsequent investigation indicated that this mistake was due to a 'temporary breakdown in the company's production and packaging processes.' On January 20, the FDA also issued a recall on the curry-flavored Curvee Puffs Corn Puff Snack bags because they 'contain undeclared milk.' The recall only applies to the 2.46-ounce bags of the Shirakiku brand snacks.
