Over 2 Million Pastries Recalled Due to Potential Listeria Contamination

The FDA has classified the recall of FGF Brands’ products, including Dunkin' items, as a Class II health risk.

The recall involves approximately 2 million pastries, including doughnuts, fritters, and eclairs, distributed in the U.S. and Canada by FGF Brands.
The FDA upgraded the recall to Class II on February 5, indicating a low probability of serious health consequences but possible temporary or reversible effects.
Listeria monocytogenes, the bacteria at the center of the recall, can cause listeriosis, with symptoms ranging from mild gastrointestinal issues to severe complications in high-risk groups.
High-risk populations include pregnant women, newborns, adults over 65, and individuals with weakened immune systems, who may face life-threatening outcomes.
This recall follows recent listeria-related recalls of other food products, contributing to growing consumer concern over food safety.
