Several Duncan Hines Cake Mixes are Recalled Due to Potential Presence of Salmonella

The CDC and FDA are investigating a Salmonella outbreak that might be linked to Duncan Hines Classic White cake mix. Conagra Brands is collaborating with health officials in the investigation and has decided to voluntarily recall the specific Duncan Hines variety identified (Classic White) and three other varieties (Classic Butter Golden, Signature Confetti and Classic Yellow) made during the same time period out of an abundance of caution. The investigation is ongoing. Five occurrences of illnesses due to Salmonella are being researched by CDC and FDA as part of this investigation. Several of the individuals reported consuming a cake mix at some point prior to becoming ill, and some may have also consumed these products raw and not baked. The products covered by this recall were distributed for retail sale in the U.S. and limited international exports. Consumers are reminded not to consume any raw batter. Cake mixes and batter can be made with ingredients such as eggs or flour which can carry risks of bacteria that are rendered harmless by baking, frying or boiling. @ https://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm625144.htm
