Flower Foods Inc. announced Wednesday that it was amending an earlier recall notice for Tastykake multi-pack cupcakes to include certain Krimpets products as well due to the potential presence of tiny fragments of metal mesh wire.

The company has done this as a precautionary measure “following notification by a vendor of the possible contamination in a supplied ingredient and is being amended following additional notification from the vendor,” according to the announcement.
