Here’s something sort of weird. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is saying that two products, “Aunt Jemima Complete Pancake Mix” and “Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Complete Pancake Mix” have been “recalled and are under investigation for a possible health risk, according to a press release given out by Dierbergs grocery stores.”
Attempts by Consumerist to locate this press release failed, as it seems to have been taken off the store’s website. Pepsico, parent company of Quaker Oats, also had no information about the recall. Same with the FDA. So what’s up with the pancake mix?
Quaker Oats Company said they could not yet say exactly what is wrong with the mixes.
“We are currrently working with regulators on what we can say,” spokeswoman Candace Mueller said this afternoon.
Schnucks said Quaker Oats said only that, “there is a potential health risk associated” with the recalled products.
How very mysterious! Customers in need of more information (that would be all of you, actually) can contact the Quaker Oats Company directly at 1-800-407-2247.
Do let us know what you learn.

@smitty1123:
You and me both, you wanna make pancakes or you coming over for mine?
I have only three requirements
-> you must use the real syrup not the assembly line crap
->No wussies, 2 pancake minimum!
->I am not responsible for your sudden affliction to massively consume pancakes at my house.
For those of you who are confused regarding the complete mix vs normal mix and home made, complete mix:
1) Costs less money
2) Takes less time
Crap. I use this stuff all the time since for some reason, any pancake I cook from scratch gives me some allergic itching. Ihop, denny’s, or aunt jemima, just fine. Yet cooking my own, itchy mouth.
Oh well, time to see what’s killing me now.
…and that was how Aunt Jemima concocted the biggest publicity stunt in decades.
Does this have anything to do with the mold?
@Rectilinear Propagation: Costs less money than from scratch? $12 will buy me a gallon of milk, a dozen eggs, 2 lbs of sugar, 2 lbs of flour, 10 oz of baking powder, 8 oz of baking soda, 1 lb of butter and 26 oz of salt. With all that, I can make roughly 80 pancakes (15 cents a pancake) plus I’ll still have some of everything except eggs left over.
So, how exactly is a complete mix cheaper?
@scoosdad: My evil plan is working!
@Pasketti: …and there was much rejoicing!
