Don't Lick That Spoon: 2.4M Boxes of Cake Mix Recalled

You might want to think twice before licking the bowl where you mixed your cake batter. Some 2.4 million boxes of Duncan Hines cake mix have been recalled due to a risk of salmonella poisoning, USA Today reports. The FDA and the CDC are investigating a salmonella outbreak in which multiple people involved reported consuming cake mix before getting sick; some of those people may have consumed it raw, per the FDA.

The agencies found salmonella in one sample from Duncan Hines and as a result parent company Conagra Brands issued a voluntary recall. The mixes affected are 15.25-ounce boxes of Classic White, Classic Butter Golden, Signature Confetti, and Classic Yellow with Best If Used By dates of March 7-13, 2019. Full information, including UPC codes, can be found at the FDA's website. Conagra notes it "encourage[s] consumers to follow baking instructions provided." (Cake from a ... spray can?)
