Pearl Milling Pancake & Waffle Mix Recall for Undeclared Milk & Soy Allergens

A limited number of 5.99-oz bags of Pearl Milling Company Original Pancake & Waffle Mix sold across Puerto Rico have been recalled because the packages do not properly declare milk and soy allergens. People who are allergic or sensitive to either ingredient should not eat the mix—return it for a refund or discard it immediately.

Why Pearl Milling Pancake Mix Was Recalled

Distributor Ballester Hermanos discovered that the Spanish-language label reads “Puede contener leche y soya” (“may contain”) rather than the mandatory “Contiene leche y soya” (“contains”). The incorrect wording could lead an allergic consumer to believe the product is safe, creating a risk of severe or life-threatening reactions.
