Publix Super Markets is recalling some of its waffle and pancake mixes because its supplier announced a milk powder in the mix may be contaminated with salmonella, My Fox 8 reported.
According to a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) release, the recall affects all lot codes of the following 16-ounce products: Publix Premium Banana-Flavored Chocolate Chip Pancake& Waffle Mix (GTIN 4141503503), Publix Premium Pumpkin Pancake & Waffle Mix (GTIN 4141503703), and Publix Premium Blueberry Flavored Pancake & Waffle Mix (GTIN 4141503603).
The products were sold at Publix stores in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee and North Carolina.
Young, old and immunosuppressed individuals may suffer severe illness if exposed to salmonella. However, most healthy individuals will experience short-term symptoms such as diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps, and recover without treatment, according to the FDA.
