2 Million Donuts and Pastries Recalled Nationwide Due to Listeria Risk, FDA Warns

A January 7 recall of 2 million baked goods was recently classified as a Class II recall by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The donuts and pastries were initially recalled due to concerns they might be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes.

On February 5, the recall was classified as Class II by the FDA, which is a situation where use or exposure to the recalled product "may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote,” per the FDA.

The products included in the recall were manufactured by FGF Brands, an Indiana-based pastry wholesaler. The company distributes baked goods within the U.S. and Canada. The voluntary recall is no longer active and all donuts are completely safe to eat, according to a release by FGF Brands.

The recall included various chocolate, raspberry, and Bavarian donuts, as well as French crullers, éclairs, and coffee rolls, some of which were sold at Dunkin'. The products were produced before December 13, 2024, according to the FDA.

Listeria is a type of bacteria that can cause an infection called listeriosis. Symptoms of listeriosis range depending on the severity of the infection, but may include vomiting, muscle aches, fever, headaches, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. Symptoms of listeriosis can last one to three days.
