Thrive Foods LLC recall: THRIVE 6 Grain Pancake Mix

The recall

Company

Thrive Foods LLC (American Fork, UT)

Reason, in FDA's words

“Thrive Foods is recalling certain lots of its 64 and 72 ounce cans of THRIVE 6 Grain Pancake Mix because this product contains ingredients that react over time and increase the pressure inside the can, which may cause cans to expand or bulge and increase the risk of sudden release of the pancake mix when the can is opened and could pose the risk of injury.”

Where it was sold

The product was distributed nationwide, in all U.S. states, and in Canada (Wade & Sandy Pierson Company Name: In Case Of , #102 127 Commercial Drive , Calgary AB T3Z 2A7 Canada, Tel. 403-381-0005).

Source and notes

U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Enforcement Reports (openFDA food recall data) (Public domain (U.S. government work); source U.S. Food and Drug Administration, openFDA), data as of September 11, 2013.

Each week the FDA lists the recalls it has classified in its Enforcement Report, often weeks after the company announced the recall, so a month with five weekly reports tends to count more. Each recall counts once, however many products it covers, in the month FDA first listed it. Class I means the food could cause serious harm or death, Class II temporary or minor harm, and Class III is unlikely to harm anyone. Meat, poultry and most egg products are recalled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, not the FDA, and aren't included. For what to do with a recalled product, see the FDA's recalls page.
