Duncan Hines has recalled some of its cake mixes - salmonella

[jmowreader]

The AP is reporting five cases of salmonella are linked to Duncan Hines cake mixes. Apparently people were eating the batter raw; the bacteria that causes salmonella is killed by baking it.

This is linked from Duncan Hines' website:

1. Wait, tho

Wouldn't it be the egg in the batter that is the problem?

How does any microbe live through the processing in the factory?

Did someone taint it with salmonella after processing?

4. The flour also carries it

As to the processing in the factory...cake mix isn't cooked at the factory, they just dump the raw ingredients into a food-safe concrete mixer, let it run for a half-hour or so to let all of them get stirred together well, and package it.

2. Real reason...

is the name has been tarnished by Duncan Hunter and is making people sick to their stomach just hearing the name.
