FDA investigates recalled Duncan Hines cake mixes linked to Salmonella
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is investigating the manufacturing facility that made recalled Duncan Hines cake mixes.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is investigating the manufacturing facility that made recalled Duncan Hines cake mixes. The FDA and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) informed Conagra Brands that a sample of Duncan Hines Classic White Cake Mix that contained Salmonella Agbeni matched the Salmonellacollected from ill persons reported to the CDC. This was determined through whole genome sequencing, a type of DNA analysis.
Based on this information, Conagra Brands is working with the FDA to proactively conduct a voluntary recall of Duncan Hines cake mixes from the market. The FDA is conducting an inspection at the Conagra Brands-owned manufacturing facility that produced the cake mixes. The FDA is also collecting environmental and product samples.
Conagra Brands reports that the products covered by this recall were distributed for retail sale in the United States and limited international exports. Currently, no other Duncan Hines products or Conagra Brands’ products are impacted by this recall.
