A food manufacturer has announced a voluntary product recall affecting pancake mix sold nationwide due to potential allergen contamination.
Hometown Food Company, working alongside Element Food Solutions, announced on May 20, 2026, that they are pulling a specific production batch of Birch Benders 12oz Sweet Potato Pancake Mix from store shelves. The Chicago-based company says the product may contain egg ingredients that are not listed on the packaging.
The recall targets only one lot code of the pancake mix product. Consumers who suffer from egg allergies or have severe reactions to egg products could face serious health consequences if they consume the affected pancake mix.
The company described the recall as limited in scope and emphasized that it was initiated voluntarily as a precautionary measure to protect consumer safety.
