The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall for 60 baked products, including a variety of donuts, due to concern about potential Listeria bes infection.
The recall, which influences around 2 million fried products, was issued for products made by FGF brands, a cake wholesaler that distributes fried products in the US and Canada, according to the FDA report. The reason for the recall is now mentioned as “potential for contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.”
Called products include a variety of stuffed and flavored donuts, cinnamon sticks, French crullers and beignets, some of which are also sold at Dunkin ', and were produced according to the report before December 13, 2024.
Class II classification
Although the recall was initially published on January 7, this Wednesday was upgraded to class II. Class II is defined as “a situation in which use or exposure to a violent product can cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the chance of serious adverse health consequences is remotely,” said the FDA website.
The FDA did not specify that the following steps for consumers and FGF brands did not respond immediately to the request from USA Today for a comment. Customers can reach the company by telephone on 905-761-3333 or via e-mail at [email protected], according to details mentioned on their website.
A complete list of products can be found on the FDA website.
