The recalled multi-pack cupcakes were sold in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington DC, and West Virginia, and the recalled Krimpets were sold across the U.S. by various retailers. Both Target and Publix have announced that both the cupcakes and Krimpets are being pulled from stores. No Tastykake products other than the aforementioned cupcakes and Krimpets are being recalled at this time. The recall was initiated after a supplier to Flowers Foods notified the company that an ingredient they had provided may be contaminated with “tiny fragments of metal mesh wire.” At the time the recall was announced, there had been no reports of injury or other harm associated with the recalled foods. If you bought any of the Tastykake desserts that are part of the recall, don’t eat them. Instead, either return them to the store from which you bought them, where your purchase will be fully refunded, or throw them away. If you have questions about the recall, contact Flowers Foods’ Consumer Relations Center at 866-245-8921 on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST or via the company’s customer contact page.
