The Class II recall includes packaged baked goods as well as Dunkin' products.
2 Million Doughnuts and Baked Goods Recalled Over Listeria Risk
Published on Feb. 10, 2025
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, there’s been an ongoing egg shortage and, now, certain doughnuts 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.
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. The recall affects products distributed in the U.S. and produced prior to December 13, 2024.
What caused the recall?
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. 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.”
FGF Brands released a statement 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.

What are the symptoms of listeria poisoning?
If ingested, listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis. Two types of illness can stem from listeria, according to the CDC: invasive illness, which is when the listeria has spread beyond the intestines, or intestinal illness, which is when the listeria remains in the gastrointestinal system.
Symptoms for the intestinal illness, which can include diarrhea or vomiting, typically start within one to three days of eating contaminated food.
Invasive listeriosis symptoms often don’t start until after two weeks of eating contaminated food. These symptoms include:
- Fever
- Muscle aches, headaches or fatigue
- Stiff neck
- Confusion
- Loss of balance
- Seizures
If you experience any of these symptoms after eating a recalled item, please consult your doctor immediately.
What should I do next?
Since this recall concerns baked goods produced last year that expired in December, you probably don’t have a lot of them still lying around the house. If you do have any of these items, throw them away and do not consume them. Keep an eye out for symptoms, especially in children and people over 65, and consult your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. For more information about recalls, you can visit the FDA website.
If this recall has you wanting to start experimenting with homemade baked goods, try making strawberry doughnuts or apple fritter rings from scratch. Or, bake up some easy muffin recipes for on-the-go breakfasts.
