The Quaker Oats Co. has recalled 10,000 boxes of pancake mix because it contains milk not declared on the label and could pose a risk of potentially dangerous allergic reactions.
The Chicago-based company, a unit of PepsiCo, recalled 2-pound boxes of Pearl Milling Company Original Pancake & Waffle Mix sold in stores in 11 states. Consumers would have been able to buy the affected pancake mix as early as November 2024. The boxes have a UPC code of 30000 65040 and a best-by date of 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.
People with allergies or sensitivities to milk could develop a serious or life-threatening reaction if they consume the recalled mix. No allergic reactions related to the recall have been reported, the company said. Consumers with such conditions should discard the product.
