The product may contain soy protein, an undeclared allergen. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy protein may run the risk of an allergic reaction if they consume this product.

This date can be found in the white box on the end of the carton.

Production Code information is as follows:

If you are allergic to or have a severe sensitivity to soy protein, you should not consume this product. Please return the product to the store where purchased for a full refund. If you are not allergic to soy protein, this product is safe to eat.

This announcement applies only to the AUNT JEMIMA FROZEN PANCAKE products listed above and does not include boxed pancake mixes and syrups.
