Authorities issue urgent recall of pancake mix sold at Woolworths and Coles
- Replies 4
Breakfast is often hailed as the most important meal of the day, and for many of us, good mornings start with a stack of warm, fluffy pancakes.
However, a recent development has cast a shadow over this beloved breakfast staple for Australians.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) issued an urgent nationwide recall on a popular pancake mix sold at Woolworths and Coles.
The product in question is the Mt Elephant Buttermylk Wholefood Pancake Mix 230g.
The recall specifically mentioned pancake mix packages with these best-before dates: 19Mar2025, 09Oct2024, 10Oct2024, and 19Dec2024.
The reason for this sudden recall is the presence of an undeclared allergen—milk—which could pose a serious health risk to individuals with a milk allergy or intolerance.
For those affected, ingesting even a small amount of milk can trigger symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to severe allergic reactions.
FSANZ has issued a clear warning: 'Any consumers who have a milk allergy or intolerance may have a reaction if the product is consumed.'
If you've purchased this pancake mix, it's crucial to heed the advice provided.
Do not consume the product if you have a milk allergy or intolerance. Instead, return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
It's always better to err on the side of caution, and supermarkets are prepared to provide refunds for such recalls.
Additionally, if you have any health concerns, seeking medical advice is recommended.

For those of you who may be feeling a bit inconvenienced or disappointed by this recall, remember that safety must come first.
There are plenty of alternative pancake mixes on the market, or you might even consider whipping up your own batch from scratch—it's easy and can be a fun activity to share with the grandkids!
