Commissioner of Agriculture Tommy Irvin is alerting Georgia residents to the recall of some pancake and waffle mixes.

The Quaker Oats Co. is recalling some packages of Aunt Jemima Pancake & Waffle Mix: Original, Original Complete and Buttermilk Complete, which may have potential salmonella contamination.

No other Aunt Jemima, frozen Aunt Jemima or Quaker products are affected.

The products, sold in 2-pound and 5-pound boxes with Best Before dates of FEB 08 09 H through FEB 16 09 H stamped on the top, contain the following UPC codes:

· 30000 43272: Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Complete, 5 lb.
· 30000 05040: Aunt Jemima Original, 2 lb.
· 30000 05070: Aunt Jemima Original Complete, 2 lb.
· 30000 05300: Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Complete, 2 lb.

Salmonella is a foodborne illness that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Healthy persons infected with salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

The affected products were shipped to 17 states including Texas, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Illinois, Florida, Missouri, Minnesota, Colorado, Wisconsin, Ohio, New York, New Mexico, Kansas and Utah.

Consumers who have these products with the indicated UPC codes and Best Before Dates should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Consumers with questions can contact the company by phone at 1-800-407-2247 or at www.auntjemima.com.

“Our sanitarians will be looking for these products during their routine inspections of grocery stores and food warehouses to make sure they have been removed from sale,” said Commissioner Irvin.
