FDA Announces Recall of 2 Million Doughnuts & Pastries Over Listeria Risk—Including Some Sold at Dunkin’

Feb 11, 2025

FGF Brands, an Indiana-based bakery manufacturer, has initiated a voluntary recall of over 2 million doughnuts and pastries due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

The recall encompassed approximately 60 different products, including various doughnuts, fritters, crullers, eclairs, and coffee rolls.

Some of the products were distributed to Dunkin’ locations across the United States and Canada.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified this as a Class II recall, indicating that exposure to the affected products may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, with the probability of serious health issues being remote.

FGF Brands emphasized that the recall was a precautionary measure.

According to the company, no doughnuts or food contact surfaces tested positive for Listeria, and the decision to recall was based on non-product-related findings at one of their facilities.

They assured consumers that all doughnuts currently on the market are safe for consumption.

Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause listeriosis, a serious infection particularly dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions.

Consumers who may have purchased the recalled products are advised to dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase.

For further information, individuals can contact FGF Brands directly.
