Duncan Hines recalls 2.4 million boxes of cake mix for potential salmonella risk
Time to check your pantry: Four types of Duncan Hines cake mixes have been voluntarily recalled by parent company Conagra Brands over the potential risk of salmonella contamination.
During an investigation into a salmonella outbreak, the Food & Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found salmonella in a sample of Duncan Hines Classic White cake mix.
As a result, Conagra says it has voluntarily recalled about 2.4 million boxes of cake mix, including Classic White and three other varieties (Classic Butter Golden, Signature Confetti and Classic Yellow) made during the same time period out of an abundance of caution.
There's not much in the mixes that could carry the bacteria except for wheat, which can actually be contaminated in the field by soil or water and still be contaminated after milling to flour and adding to other ingredients.
Holidays are upon us and nothing says Um Um good than a box of Duncan Hines Cake mix with Salmonella icing!
ReplyDeleteMaking your own cake is so easy. Forget the box mix.

ReplyDeleteIt was recalled because the name "Classic White" was too Racist. New boxes will be PC.
ReplyDeleteLol would not be surprised if this was true!
