‘Not the final destination vibes, omg!’: California Food4Less shopper buys Jiffy cornbread mix. Then she notices something strange after baking

Jiffy cornbread mix is a classic household staple. However, one shopper says her latest box was less than satisfactory as she found foreign objects in her cornbread after baking. 

In a viral 32-second TikTok, @.proverbs31woman shows the open box of cornbread. She then shows her baked cornbread in a baking pan. As she zooms in, the light catches on several shards of glass and makes them sparkle. 

“Jiffy cornbread full of glass,” she writes in an on-screen caption. She indicated in a comment that she purchased the mix at Food4Less.

‘Looks like you just baked yourself $1 million’

In the comments section, several commenters said the TikToker should expect a payday. Others were more skeptical of the situation. 

User DeSantis Bryant asked, “Just one question, you mean to say you didn’t see that glass while you were mixing that jiffy bread,?”

A second viewer similarly questioned, “So you’re saying you didn’t notice until you baked it .. mhm”

‘I done seen 6 different videos’

The Mary Sue was unable to find evidence of other customers finding glass in their Jiffy cornbread mix. However, one Facebook user warned others that it’s a growing problem in a Monday post

“Y’all be careful jiffy cornbread mix got lil glass pieces in it make sure y’all check it its a recall I done seen 6 different videos of people showing it after it came out the oven,” they wrote. 

The Mary Sue was not able to find any evidence of a recall on Jiffy cornbread for glass fragments.

What do I do if I find glass in my Jiffy cornbread?

According to FoodSafety.gov, you should “Phone the FDA Main Emergency Number at 888-SAFEFOOD (888-723-3366) or report online through the FDA Safety Reporting Portal.”

The Mary Sue contacted the TikToker via comment and direct message. It contacted Jiffy via contact form.
