Flowers Foods Inc. has amended its Oct. 31 recall to include other products in addition to cupcakes, after a vendor reported pieces of metal mesh in the product.
The company is now recalling Tastykake brand multi-pack cupcakes and certain “Krimpets” products.
The Tastykake multi-pack cupcakes products being recalled were distributed to retail customers in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington D.C. and West Virginia.
The Tastykake Krimpets products being recalled were distributed to retail customers throughout the United States.
There is concern that consumers may have the products in their possession because of their long shelf life, which reaches into December for some of the products.
As of the posting of the recall notice with the Food and Drug Administration, no injuries or incidents have been reported in connection with the recalled items.
