Another day, another product recall. This time, it's for something that you may very well have on the shelves of your pantry at home, but the product recall is for a reason I haven't heard of before.

In the past, we've seen that there have been recalls for listeria, E. coli, salmonella, even bits of plastic and/or metal tainting products, but this is a bit different.

There Are No Potential Pathogens Causing This Recall--It's A Chunk Problem

Years ago, there was a recall on a popular brand of imported beer because glass chunks had some how gotten into bottles and cans of this particular beer.

I remember stopping by the package liquor store that I favored, only to encounter a sign on the beer cooler that said: "________ Beer is unavailable for the time being due to a product recall. Please inform the manager if you prefer your beer to be chunky-style, as we still have some ________ stock in the back that we want to get rid of."

No one took them up on the chunky-style offer, and I'm sure no one wants chunky-style pancakes, either.

The Pancake Mix Recall Is Because Of The Potential For Foreign Material Contamination

In particular, according to the FDA, it's chunks of whatever makes up a cable:

Continental Mills has issued a recall for a single lot of Great Value Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix, UPC 078742370828, Lot code KX2063, Best By Date of 09/01/2023, due to a potential foreign material contamination. Fragments from a cable used to clear the processing line were discovered in a limited amount of product."

If you happen to have one of these mixes at home, you can either throw it out, or return it to where you bought it for a full refund. For more information, call the Recall Phone Hotline at 1-800-578-7832
