Quaker Oats Recall Class I for Undeclared Milk

The Quaker Oats Company has issued a recall of 10,000 boxes of Pearl Milling Company Original Pancake & Waffle Mix due to undeclared milk, posing a risk of serious allergic reactions. The recall, now elevated to a Class I by the FDA, affects 2-pound boxes distributed in 11 states, including Arkansas, Illinois, and Indiana, with a UPC code of 30000 65040 and a best-by date of September 13, 2025. No allergic reactions have been reported, but individuals with milk allergies are advised to discard the product immediately. The mix was formerly branded as Aunt Jemima before being rebranded in 2021. The recall was initiated after a retail partner's alert and has been widely reported by various news outlets. Consumers who purchased the mix since November 2024 are urged to check their purchases.
