Is your breakfast safe? Quaker's pancake mix recalled in 11 states–Check your kitchen now!

Attention, breakfast lovers and home chefs! A staple in many American kitchens, the beloved pancake mix, has hit a bit of a snag.

The US Food and Drug Administration (USDA) has issued an alert that may affect your morning routine.

Quaker Oats Company, a household name with a long-standing reputation for quality breakfast products, has announced a recall of its Pearl Milling Company Original Pancake & Waffle Mix. Why did this happen?



On January 15, 2025, the USDA shared the news of the recall, which was initiated after a retail partner discovered that the mix might contain undeclared milk.

This is particularly concerning for individuals with milk allergies or severe sensitivities, as accidental consumption could lead to a serious or even life-threatening allergic reaction.

Fortunately, at the time of the announcement, no adverse reactions had been reported by consumers.

  • It is packaged in 2-pound (32-ounce) cardboard boxes
  • The “Best By” date to check is September 13, 2025.

  • The manufacturing code to identify is: BBD SEP 13 25 P.
These details can be found on the top panel of the box. The USDA website also provides a photo of the affected product for easy identification.



The recall affects boxes distributed to retailers in the following 11 states: Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Utah, and Wisconsin.

If you reside in or have purchased pancake mix in these states since November 18, 2024, it's time to check your shelves.
