Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 25,263 units of various Tastykake snack cakes, including Chocolate Cupcakes, Butterscotch Krimpets, and Jelly Krimpets, are being recalled because they may contain small metal fragments. The manufacturer, Flowers Foods, initiated this voluntary recall after an ingredient supplier notified them of the potential contamination. These products were distributed to retail stores across 36 states and the District of Columbia. Consumers who have purchased these items should not eat them and instead return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Small metal fragments in food products pose a physical choking hazard and can cause injury to the mouth, throat, or digestive tract if swallowed. While no injuries have been reported, the presence of foreign material in the product makes it unsafe for consumption.
