The Food and Drug Administration quietly announced a recall last month involving more than two million cases of doughnuts and other baked goods sold under various brand names, including Dunkin. Data from the FDA says 2,017,614 cases of products are part of the recall and involve doughnuts, fritters, and cake rings.

The products were distributed and sold nationwide. While the recall was issued on Jan. 7, the FDA never made a public announcement regarding it.

The recall involves any of the items listed “within expiration produced 12/13/2024 and prior” according to the FDA. Sixty different items are involved in the recall.

The recalled goods were produced by Indiana-based FGF, LLC and are being recalled over possible contamination involving listeria monocytogenes.

The FDA gave the recall a class II designation which according to the agency’s website means the recall is “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.”

Listeria monocytogenes can cause “serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems,” according to the FDA. Symptoms include: high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
