Vans International Foods has issued a voluntary recall and allergy alert for the 12.4 ounce package of frozen Van’s Wheat Free Homestyle Pancakes (lot #200060629B1) with a best used by date of March 30.

Recalled products may have been distributed to Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, District of Columbia, New Jersey, New York, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Washington, Oregon, Texas, Idaho and Hawaii.

Although the distributors have been notified and the best by date has passed, it’s always a good idea to double check your pantry.

Vans issued the following statement and instructions on its website:

The voluntary recall was initiated immediately after a packaging operator error, limited to one shift, was discovered. The company has immediately reinforced its Quality Assurance and Packaging procedures and believes that the problem was a one-time incident. Consumers who are allergic to or have sensitivity to wheat, gluten, milk or eggs, should not consume this product.
