About two million baked goods, including some donuts and coffee rolls sold at Dunkin’, were recalled over concerns of potential contamination with the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes, reported the New York Times earlier this week.

“The recalled products include a mix of chocolate, raspberry and Bavarian doughnuts; French crullers; éclairs; and coffee rolls. Some of the goods were sold at Dunkin’ and were produced before December 13, 2024, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said. The suspected source of the contamination was not identified,” wrote the NYT.

The manufacturer FGF Brands, which distributes baked goods in the United States and Canada, issued the voluntary recall, according to a report released last week by the FDA.

In a statement, FGF Brands said the voluntary recall was “a precautionary measure based on non-product related findings” at one of its donut facilities in the United States.

It added that “no donuts or food contact surfaces ever tested positive for listeria.”

The recall went into effect on January 7, but was upgraded on February 5 to a Class II, which is defined by the FDA as “a situation in which 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 said that the recall was completed in early January, “and does not implicate anything that is currently on the market,” it wrote. “We take food safety seriously and acted with an abundance of caution,” the statement said.

In August, a recall of Boar’s Head products included over 7 million pounds of deli meat and poultry items due to an outbreak of listeria.
