[Robotgroup] [Fwd: Fwd: FW: Pancake Mixes - Important]

    Wonder if this applies to funnel cake mix.

     
           
       NOT A JOKE-----PLEASE READ.  
    Needed to pass this along - especially for those with Grandchildren.
    I don't know if any of you use pancake, cake, brownie, etc mixes, 
    but please do read the following message carefully and just be aware
    of  the warning.
      
    If you wish to check out the accuracy/truth of the warning there is
    a link to Snopes who have checked into it and verified the claims.
    I recently made a batch of pancakes for my healthy 14-year-old son,
    using a mix that was in our pantry.  He said that they tasted
    "funny," but ate them anyway.  About 10 minutes later, he began
    having difficulty breathing and his lips began turning purple. I
    gave him his allergy pill, had him sit on the sofa and told him to
    relax. He was wheezing while inhaling and exhaling.
    My husband, a volunteer Firefighter and EMT, heated up some water,
    and we had my son lean over the water so the steam could clear his
    chest and sinuses. Soon, his breathing became more regular and his
    lips returned to a more normal color.
    We checked the date on the box of pancake mix and, to my dismay,
    found it was very outdated.
    As a reference librarian at an academic institution, I have the
    ability to search through many research databases. I did just that,
    and found an article the next day that mentioned a 19-year-old male
    DYING after eating pancakes made with outdated mix. Apparently, the
    mold that forms in old pancake mix can be toxic!
    When we told our friends about my son's close call, we were
    surprised at the number of people who mentioned that they should
    check their own pancake mix since they don't use it often, or they
    had purchased it some time ago.
    With so many people shopping at warehouse-type stores and buying
    large sizes of pancake mix, I hope your readers will take the time
    to check the expiration date on their boxes.
    Also, beware of outdated cake, brownie and cookie mixes.
     PASS IT ON!
     This is TRUE -- Check it out!
