Walmart recalls pancake, waffle mixes
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a nationwide recall affecting Walmart retailers.
Continental Mills’ Great Value Buttermilk Pancake and Waffle Mix, with the lot code of KX2063, and a best-buy date of Sept. 1, 2023 was recalled this month due to potential foreign material contamination, according to announcement from the Walmart corporation this month.
The FDA said fragments from a cable used to clear the processing line were discovered in a limited amount of product. The affected product was distributed nationwide where consumers purchased product through retail Walmart stores.
No contaminated product has been reported by consumers and no injuries have been reported to date according to the federal agency.
