I bought three boxes of Streit's Gluten-free Vanilla Cake Mix during Passover 2011. The boxes say best by 03/08/13. The SKU number on all three, including the tiny numbers on the sides of the bar code are 0 7022761090 0.
I was going to bake a cake for my mom's 91st birthday, soon, and reached for the mixes in my pantry. ALL THREE BOXES ARE SWOLLEN TO THE POINT OF BEING READY TO BURST. They are obviously rancid.
I just emailed Streit's and I'll let you know what they say, but in the meantime, if any of you bought this product this Spring, and still have them in your pantry, I'd suggest you check to see if the packages have swelled up. I am NOT opening these boxes. But I'm not throwing them away yet, in case Streit's wants them back.
I realize I turn our a.c. up a little when we're going away for more than a couple of days, but not enough to get rancid. And the back of my pantry has no reason to be unusually hot. I've had this pantry for decades. I store all sorts of boxed, jarred, and canned stuff in there, and this is the first time this has occurred. Flours and flour mixes, I sometimes freeze, but not mixes in a cardboard box like this. The paper wouldn't hold up in the freezer.
