For those of us who love starting the day with a full breakfast, we've had a rough go of things. There was the January milk recall<\/a>, there's been an ongoing egg shortage<\/a> and, now, certain doughnuts<\/a> have been recalled. Hold off on the sweet pastry with your morning coffee this week. FGF Brands, a food manufacturer that distributes in the United States and Canada, issued a voluntary recall for 2 million products with a potential risk of listeria contamination.<\/p>\r\n

This recall includes packaged pastry items that you could buy at the grocery store, like filled doughnuts, eclairs, French crullers, apple fritters, paczkis, cinnamon sticks and pretzels. Some of the products were also sold at Dunkin' stores, according to the New York Times<\/a>. The recall affects products distributed in the U.S. and produced prior to December 13, 2024.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

What caused the recall?<\/h2>\r\n

On January 7, the recall was issued as a Class III, which indicates that \"use of, or exposure to, a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences,\" per the FDA website<\/a>. The reason why this is gaining traction now, a month later, is that the FDA recently changed the classification to a Class II, which means \"use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.\"<\/p>\r\n

FGF Brands released a statement<\/a> emphasizing that this was a voluntary recall completed in January, and it was a precautionary measure based on findings at one of its U.S. doughnut facilities. No products that are currently on the market and available to shop are affected by this recall.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

How do I know if I have recalled baked goods?<\/h2>\r\n
