FGF Brands has announced a voluntary recall of their donut products after potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes was identified during routine testing. This recall affects a wide range of products including their popular glazed, chocolate iced, and powdered sugar donuts, which were distributed to various retailers across the United States and Canada. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported that the affected donuts were produced in the company’s facility in Ontario, Canada, and were delivered to various sales and distribution locations including major grocery and convenience stores. Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly individuals, and others with weakened immune systems. The FDA advises anyone who has purchased these products to discard them immediately and not consume them. Consumers are further cautioned to monitor for flu-like symptoms that may result from contamination. The company has expressed its commitment to maintaining the highest quality and safety standards and stated, ‘We take the health and safety of our customers very seriously and are conducting this recall to ensure public safety.’ This proactive measure comes as part of an ongoing effort to safeguard public health and prevent any potential illness related to Listeria exposure. All affected products have been pulled from store shelves, and further testing will be conducted to prevent future occurrences.
