A recall by FGF, LLC, first announced on January 7, 2025 for over 2 million cases of assorted donut products due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes (Listeria) remains ongoing. Listeria is a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in vulnerable populations such as young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems.
Background

This recall is classified as a Class II recall by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), meaning that the recalled product has a lower risk of causing serious harm, but there is still the chance of adverse events.
Distribution
The recalled products were distributed across the United States and Canada.

Consumer Action
As with all food recalls, consumers are strongly advised to discontinue use of the affected product even if it looks or smells safe to eat.
Anyone in possession of the recalled product is requested to not sell, serve, or distribute them.
The affected products should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers should thoroughly sanitize any surface or utensils that have come into contact with the recalled products.
Health Risks
There was no mention if there have been any reported cases of illness or injuries in connection with the consumption of the recalled products.
Listeriosis, the infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes, is particularly dangerous for certain vulnerable populations. Pregnant individuals, people aged 65 or older, and those with weakened immune systems are at highest risk. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, sometimes preceded by gastrointestinal symptoms. In pregnant individuals, listeriosis can lead to miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery, or life-threatening infections in newborns.
Anyone experiencing symptoms of Listeriosis should contact their healthcare provider immediately.
Commenting on this article, the nation’s leading Listeria lawyer said, “I strongly advise any consumers who think they may have recalled donut products produced by this company to immediately cease consumption and throw them out. Listeria infection can be deadly.”
