Salad is Safe to Eat Again, But Now Cake Has Salmonella

I was fine when salmonella came for beef, I was miffed when I had to throw away a bunch of romaine lettuce because salmonella tainted the country's supply (though it's safe to eat now), but now? Now salmonella has gone too far.

On Monday, the US Food and Drug Administration issued a recall for four types of Duncan Hines cake mix due to possible salmonella contamination.

So far, illnesses linked to the contaminated cake have been reported in Maryland, Wisconsin, and Ohio.

Consumers are reminded not to consume any raw batter. Cake mixes and batter can be made with ingredients such as eggs or flour which can carry risks of bacteria that are rendered harmless by baking, frying or boiling. Consumers are reminded to wash their hands, work surfaces, and utensils thoroughly after contact with raw batter products, to follow baking instructions, and to never eat raw batter.

Bottom line, check your cake mix.
