Tastykake Chocolate Cupcakes recall expanded
Flowers Foods, Inc. is expanding their initial recall of their Tastykake multi-pack cupcake products to add additional chocolate cupcake “enjoy by” dates and to include certain Krimpets products because they may be contaminated with foreign materials, specifically tiny fragments of metal mesh wire, according to a Department of Defense All Food and Drug Activity message sent Nov. 3.
The recall is a result of possible contamination of a vendor-supplied ingredient. Consumption of foreign material could cause injury to teeth, mouth, throat, stomach or intestine tissues if swallowed.
The Defense Commissary Agency has publicized this recall to all its stores, said Richard Stith, chief, public health division, DeCA headquarters at Fort Lee, Virginia. Whenever a commissary has recalled or withdrawn products in its inventory, they are immediately removed from store shelves.
