Tastykake Is Recalling One Of Our Favorite Delaware Treats

Tastykake Is Recalling One Of Our Favorite Treats

Tastykake Is Recalling One Of Our Favorite Treats

Don’t panic! Tastykake isn’t discontinuing anything! But if you have a peanut allergy pay VERY close attention.

The iconic treat manufacturer is recalling one of its more popular items due to an undeclared ingredient.

Flowers Foods, Inc.  is voluntarily recalling certain Tastykake Chocolate Kandy Kakes due to undeclared peanuts.

“The product being recalled was distributed on May 11, 2023 to retail customers in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia, and West Virginia. The packages have an “Enjoy By” date of June 5, 2023 on the side of the package, and UPC 0 25600 00225 4” according to a press release.

Tastykake has released many versions of its famous Kandy Kake and they seem to have messed up some packaging.

The recall is because they discovered some of their Tastykake Chocolate Kandy Kakes accidentally had the peanut butter version in their packaging. The chocolate version fails to declare peanuts as a listed ingredient.

Affected product should be discarded or may be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.

The full recall can be found here.

“The Tandy-Kake introduced in 1931 became the Kandy Kake, the most popular cake in the company’s history, with nearly half a million baked and packaged each day.Until 1941 the company distributed its products almost wholly by horse-drawn delivery wagons, making them an exclusive city treat”  according to Philadelphia Encyclopedia.

Tastykake has been around since 1914 and is an institution in Philly and the surrounding areas. The company first started with full-sized loaf cakes with icing which were a whopping 5 cents!

The company turned 100 in 2014!

Pennsylvania Has 3 Of The Top 10 Rollercoasters In America

Pennsylvania Has 3 Of The Top 10 Rollercoasters In America

If you are a thrill seeker you won’t have to drive far as PA has 3 of the best coasters in the United States.

USA Today and 10Best have revealed the best roller coasters in the country and people in the tri-state are spoiled.

Readers ranked their favorite coasters in a new poll and some classic amusements parks have made the list.

The top coaster in America is pretty accessible as well since it is in Orlando and there is a billion flights a day to Florida.

“Guests looking for thrills at SeaWorld Orlando will find them aboard one of the park’s roller coasters, Mako. Orlando’s tallest and fastest coaster gets its name from one of the world’s fastest sharks – appropriate for a thrill ride reaching speeds of 73 miles per hour” per USA Today.

On top of Pennsylvania grabbing 3 of the top 10 spots on the list, New Jersey also got in on the action.

Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey and is massive. Its 456 feet high and goes an amazing 128mph.

Pennsylvania Has 3 Of The Top 10 Rollercoasters In America and here they are and where they rank:

 

  • 8. Phantom's Revenge - Kennywood

    According to Kennywood’s Wikipedia “Phantom’s Revenge is a steel hypercoaster located at Kennywood amusement park in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, United States. It originally opened as Steel Phantom in 1991, featuring the fastest speed and longest drop of any roller coaster in the world. Its second drop is longer than its first, which is a unique characteristic among roller coasters.”

  • 6. Skyrush- Hersheypark

    Skyrush at Hersheypark is AWESOME. I have ridden two of the top 10 coasters in American and Skyrush is confirmed thrilling. Skyrush climbs 200 feet into the air before flying downhill at 75 mph.

  • 2. Phoenix- Knoebels

    I am SO excited that Phoenix made the list and at #2! I love Knoebels and I’m glad the amusement park is getting its flowers. Phoenix is a wooden classic coaster and reaches speeds of up to 45mph. Knoebels is worth a day trip or even a camping trip. If you go make sure you try the blue birch beer.
