More than two million donut products have been recalled nationwide due to a potential contamination with dangerous bacteria.
The US Food and Drug Administration issued a report on Wednesday about 60 different baked goods from FGF, LLC, which were distributed in grocery stores throughout the U.S.
The recalled treats range from cake donut rings, raspberry-filled donuts, french crullers, bavarian-filled donuts Dunkin’ Donuts’ products, including two of its munchkin flavors, and more.
The FDA claims a total of 2,0176,614 cases of the different baked goods have been recalled due to the 'potential for contamination with listeria monocytogenes'.
As noted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) listeria is a 'bacteria that can contaminate many foods. Although symptoms can vary, a listeria infection 'can cause invasive illness and intestinal illness'.
The voluntary recall affects all baked goods within an expiration produced 13 December 2024 and prior.
The recall was a class two recall meaning a 'situation in which 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' as classified by the FDA.
A spokesperson for FGF, LLC said: "We take food safety seriously and acted with an abundance of caution."
Last month, Braga Fresh's ready-to-eat 12oz Marketside Broccoli Florets, which were sold at Walmart stores in 20 states were also recalled due to listeria risk.
The possible listeria contamination of Braga Fresh’s broccoli 'was discovered during random sampling by Texas Health & Human Services from a Texas store location where one of multiple samples yielded a positive test result,' according to the FDA.
