Snopes.com: Pancake Mix and Allergic Reaction.

This is making the rounds, so I took a look. Best to actually read Snopes so as to get the whole story. Only “toxic” if it’s gotten moldy, and the person eating it has allergies to mold. So, I think the moral to the story is to look when you open it up and check for mold before you shake the contents up. I do this with cheese, bread, everything that could possibly get moldy. If the environment is damp, like we live in Seattle here, anything can grow mold. I think it’s gross, even if it isn’t toxic to me.

Also, I noticed that every story in there was about pancakes, and yet the story in the email was inflated to include any baking mix you might leave in the pantry beyond it’s expiration date.
