FDA: Cake Mix Recall In Michigan Upgraded To Most Dangerous Level

According to the FDA website, the agency requires food labels to identify all major food allergens because allergic reactions can range from mild symptoms like hives and lip swelling to life-threatening symptoms such as anaphylaxis. On Dec. 23, 2025, Dallas-based B.C. Williams Bakery Service, Inc. issued a voluntary recall of three cake mix products due to an undeclared milk allergen.
