‘Krimpets’ added to recall for Tastykake products due to possible presence of tiny fragments of metal mesh wire
Flowers Foods, Inc. has amended its October 31 voluntary recall on certain Tastykake products to reflect additional products included in the recall, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
As a precautionary measure, the company is voluntarily recalling certain Tastykake multi-pack cupcakes and certain Krimpets products due to the potential presence of tiny fragments of metal mesh wire. The recall was initiated following notification by a vendor of the possible contamination in a supplied ingredient and is being amended following additional notification from the vendor.
The Tastykake multi-pack cupcakes products being recalled were distributed to retail customers in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington DC, and West Virginia. The Tastykake Krimpets products being recalled were distributed to retail customers throughout the U.S.
No injuries or incidents have been reported in connection with the recalled items. See below for product list, UPCs, and “enjoy by” dates, which may be found on the top, sides, or bottom of the packaging.
