Their expiration date is March 2019. Also, it is just a guess that these cake mixes caused an illness.
It almost makes us afraid to eat anything. America's food is making us sick.
@Carmie, I bought a Duncan Hines cake mix last week, and its expration date is April 19, 2019. So IMO, it's likely that the recalled boxes that expire in March 2019 were recently purchased.

Personally, I would never consume cake mix...a nutritional disaster before the recall.

From the Duncan Hines website. The recalled cake mixes were produced in March 2018, so they have been on the shelf for almost 9 months already. The best by date stamped on the box is 12 months after the date it was produced.
The recall was made early in November after a few people got sick and the FDA got involved and investigated. So, those boxes have been out there for a while.
Many of those that got sick ate raw cake batter which is not advisable..

I recently read an article on contaminated food that said the pantry item most likely to cause illness is uncooked flour.
