Plain-English summary

Thrive Foods LLC is recalling specific lots of its THRIVE 6 Grain Pancake Mix. The affected products are available in two sizes: 4 lb. #10/gallon cans and 1.17 lb. Pull-Top Pantry Cans. The recall covers 100,116 Gallon Cans and 4,219 Pantry Cans.

The recall is being issued because the product contains ingredients that react over time, which increases the pressure inside the can. This pressure buildup may cause the cans to expand or bulge, increasing the risk of a sudden release of the pancake mix when the can is opened. This sudden release could pose a risk of injury to consumers.

The product was distributed nationwide in all U.S. states and in Canada. Consumers should check their pantry for these specific cans, identified by the canning dates listed in the official recall notice, and stop using them if they match the affected lots.
