Quaker Oats Pancake Mix Recall

The PepsiCo — Quaker Oats Company, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, has recalled 10,000 boxes of its PepsiCo — Pearl Milling Company Original Pancake & Waffle Mix. The recall was initiated because the product contains undeclared milk, posing a serious risk of allergic reactions for individuals with milk allergies or sensitivities. The United States — Food and Drug Administration has escalated this to a Class I recall, the most serious category, indicating a reasonable probability of severe adverse health consequences or death. The affected products, with a specific UPC code and best-by date, were distributed to stores in 11 states. No allergic reactions have been reported to date, but consumers are advised to discard the product. This event follows previous recalls by PepsiCo — Quaker Oats Company for other products.
