TOPEKA (KSNT) – Federal health officials say a Utah company is recalling thousands of boxes of waffles as they may contain foreign objects. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified the recall as “Class II” on Sept. 13 of a voluntary recall from Kodiak Cakes LLC, based out of Park City UT, for 7,300 boxes of its 40-count “Kodiak Protein-Packed Power Waffles, Buttermilk & Vanilla.”

The recall, which was initially issued in August, was initiated “due to the potential presence of soft plastic film,” Kodiak said in a letter sent to consumers who may have been impacted. The recall is designated at a “Class II” status, meaning the waffles may cause adverse health reactions if consumed.

According to the letter, impacted packages have UPC code ‘7 05599 01920 3’ on their boxes, expire on Jan. 1, 2026, and a time stamp of 12:00-23:00. The recalled waffles were sold at Costco warehouses in the Midwest between July 15 and August 25, Kodiak said in its letter.

The FDA notice shows the waffles were distributed to Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. No other Kodiak products are impacted, and only boxes with this UPC code and expiration date are included in the recall.

If you still have any unused boxes of the recalled waffles in your freezer, Kodiak said to take them to your local Costco for a full refund. You can also contact Kodiak via email at flapjacks@kodiakcakes.com or phone at 801-328-4067.
