Tastykake cupcakes sold in more than half a dozen states are being recalled because they may contain tiny fragments of metal mesh wire, according to a notice posted by the Food and Drug Administration.
Sold by retailers including Target and more than 500 Walmart stores, the multi-pack treats were distributed in Delaware; Maryland; New Jersey; New York; Pennsylvania; Virginia; Washington, D.C.; and West Virginia, according to Thomasville, Georgia-based Flowers Foods, the maker of Tastykakes and one of the biggest U.S. producers of packaged bakery foods.
Flowers Foods initiated the recall after being notified by a vendor of the possible contamination in an ingredient. No injuries have been reported.
People should not eat the recalled cupcakes but should instead discard them or return their purchase for a refund. Those with questions can call the company at 1(866) 245-8921 during business hours.
