Cake Mix Recall: Undeclared Milk Poses Serious Health Risk
13 Feb
Summary
- B.C. Williams Bakery Service mixes recalled due to undeclared milk.
- Recall elevated to Class I by FDA, indicating a severe health risk.
- Affected products are 50-pound bags of Spice and Swiss Chocolate Cake Mix.
A significant recall has been issued for bakery mixes distributed by B.C. Williams Bakery Service across the United States. The company's Spice Cake Mix and Swiss Chocolate Cake Mix, sold in 50-pound bags, have been identified as containing undeclared milk. This oversight poses a serious health risk, prompting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to elevate the recall to Class I status. This classification signifies that the products present a genuine danger of severe illness or even death, particularly for individuals with dairy allergies.
The recall, initially announced in December, highlights the critical importance of accurate allergen labeling in food products. Milk is one of the nine major allergens in the U.S., and reactions can range from mild to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Consumers who have purchased the affected cake mixes are strongly advised to discard them immediately, especially if they or anyone in their household has a milk allergy.
