CDC investigating five illnesses for possible link to Conagra Brands cake mixes


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that the CDC, state partners, and FDA are investigating five illnesses in three states to determine if they are linked to recently recalled Duncan Hines cake mixes. On November 5, 2018, ConAgra Brands recalled four varieties of Duncan Hines cake mix after officials in Oregon identified Salmonella Agbeni in a box of Duncan Hines Classic White Cake Mix. CDC reviewed the PulseNet database and identified five recent infections with the same strain of Salmonella Agbeni as the Salmonella strain identified in the cake mix. Illnesses were reported from three states: Maryland, Ohio, and Wisconsin. None of the ill people were hospitalized, and none died. The investigation is ongoing to determine if these illnesses are linked to Duncan Hines cake mix and the CDC said it will provide updates as more information becomes available.
