FDA Raises Quaker Recall to Highest Risk Over Salmonella Fears

The latest FDA recall involving Quaker Oats products has reached critical status as the Food and Drug Administration elevates it to Class I, their highest risk category. This Quaker Oats recall, part of the broader FDA food recalls initiative, stems from the presence of undeclared milk in the Pearl Milling Company Original Pancake & Waffle Mix, posing serious health risks to individuals with milk allergies.

Furthermore, we've identified that this pancake recall affects approximately 10,000 cartons distributed across 11 states, including Arkansas, Illinois, and Indiana. Importantly, while no allergic reactions have been reported yet, this Quaker recall follows a concerning pattern, as Quaker Oats previously recalled over two dozen types of granola bars and cereals in December 2023. Consumers should check their pantries for products with UPC code 30000 65040 and a best-by date of September 12, 2025.
