Company Pulls Pancake Mix from Puerto Rico Stores Over Undeclared Allergens

A food distributor has pulled a popular pancake and waffle mix from Puerto Rico stores after discovering the product contains milk and soy ingredients that weren’t listed on the package label.

Ballester Hermanos announced the voluntary recall of a limited number of 5.99-ounce bags of Pearl Milling Company Original Pancake & Waffles Complete mix distributed throughout Puerto Rico.

The company issued the recall because the pancake mix contains undeclared milk and soy, which could trigger serious reactions in consumers who have allergies or severe sensitivities to these ingredients.

People with milk or soy allergies who consume products containing these undeclared ingredients face potential health risks ranging from mild reactions to severe allergic responses.
