Popular Cake Mixes Upgraded To FDA’s Most Dangerous Recall

A nationwide recall on popular cake mix products has been upgraded to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration‘s most serious category.

B.C. Williams Bakery Service, Inc., issued a voluntary recall for three cake mix products over the presence of an undeclared milk allergen on December 23, 2025, which was later classified as a Class I risk level at an unavailable later date. The FDA requires food labels to identify all major food allergens as symptoms of allergies can range from hives and lip swelling to life-threatening such as anaphylaxis, the agency’s website states.

The products included in the recall are listed below:

• Spice Cake Mix; 50 lb. multi-wall, kraft, poly-lined moisture proof bags, Batch 221
• Bread and Roll Mix; 50 lb. multi-wall, kraft, poly-lined moisture proof bags, Lot #072225-217, Lot #072225-218, Lot #080325-200, Lot #080325-201, Lot #081625-203, Lot #081625-204, Lot #092225-222, Lot #092225-223, Lot #092225-224, Lot #092225-225, Lot #092225-226, Lot #092225-227, Lot #092225-228, Lot #101725-208, Lot #101725-209
• Swiss Chocolate Cake Mix; 50 lb. multi-wall, kraft, poly-lined moisture proof bags, Lot #072925-220 and Lot #071825-36

A class I recall is defined on the FDA’s website as “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”
