*This was checked with snopes and confirmed. *
*WARNING ABOUT Pancake Mix (and other boxed mixes) ** *
* ** *
*Throw away ALL OUTDATED pancake mix you have in your home, PLEASE! If you
don't believe me, read this article and then follow the 'Link' below to
SNOPES. Sorry to be the Grim Reaper of bad news, but I would rather have
you ALIVE, besides a $2.00 box of pancake mix is NOT worth your life. **
*
*P. S. You might want to tell this to your children, grandchildren,
nephews, nieces and anyone else who keeps pancake mix in the cupboard.
** **WARNING
- READ ON. AND CHECK SNOPES TOO.*
*From Snopes:
I recently made a batch of pancakes for my healthy 14-year-old son,
using a mix that was in our pantry. He said that they tasted "funny," but
ate them anyway. About 10 minutes later, he began having difficulty
breathing and his lips began turning purple. I gave him his allergy pill,
had him sit on the sofa and told him to relax. He was wheezing while
inhaling and exhaling.
** **My husband, a volunteer Firefighter and EMT, heated up some
water, and we had my son lean over the water so the steam could clear his
chest and sinuses. Soon, his breathing became more regular and his lips
returned to a more normal color. We checked the date on the box of pancake
mix and, to my dismay, found it was very outdated. As a reference librarian
at an academic institution, I have the ability to search through many
research databases. I did just that, and found an article the next day that
mentioned a 19-year-old male DYING after eating pancakes made with outdated
mix. Apparently, the mold that forms in old pancake mix can be toxic!
** ** When we told our friends about my son's close call, we were
surprised at the number of people who mentioned that they should check their
own pancake mix since they don't use it often, or they had purchased it some
time ago. With so many people shopping at warehouse-type stores and buying
large sizes of pancake mix, I hope your readers will take the time to check
the expiration date on their boxes. **
*
* Also, beware of outdated Bisquick, cake, brownie and cookie
mixes. *
* **PASS IT ON! This is TRUE--Check it out! **
