Hot on the heels of the alfalfa sprout recall comes another food recall; the Quaker Oats Company has recalled a small amount of Aunt Jemima Pancake and Waffle Mix due to potential salmonella contamination.
Aunt Jemima Pancake & Waffle Mix Recall
No illnesses have been reported and the risk is very low as salmonella bacteria is killed at temperatures of 160° F, but better safe than sorry. The recall only includes products that have "Best Before" dates of February 8, 2009 through February 16, 2009 and have the following UPC codes:
- Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Complete, 5 lb. box, UPC code 30000 43272
- Aunt Jemima Original, 2 lb. box, UPC code 30000 05040
- Aunt Jemima Original Complete, 2 lb. box, UPC code 30000 05070
- Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Complete, 2 lb. box, UPC code 30000 05300
If you have any recalled Aunt Jemima products, return them to the store you purchased from for a full refund. The recalled products were shipped to 17 states: Texas, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Illinois, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Colorado, Wisconsin, Ohio, New York, New Mexico, Kansas, and Utah.
In the meantime, skip the boxed pancake mixes and try these easy recipes:

What concerns me is how much salmonella and other such things are contaminating our food all of a sudden. I just don't remember ever hearing anything like all this in the past it's ridiculous and it has me wondering what the heck are these companies doing that their food is becoming contaminated!

Speaking of salmonella, I couldn't believe a recent episode of house hunters where the kids names were Sam and Ella. No joke!

Oh man, when I first saw this recall, I thought it was just the "complete" version that you just add water. I never buy that stuff, but I DO have the Aunt Jemima Original! Better go check it, though we have used it twice and have been fine.
Don't want to take any chances though....the bf has been infected w/ the "Sam and Ella" once before and I hear it wasn't pretty!
