FGF Brands has issued a nationwide recall of 60 donut products due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall, initiated on January 7th, was classified as a Class II by the FDA on February 5th. The products, distributed across the U.S. and Canada, are being recalled because Listeria monocytogenes can be fatal to vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
The CDC reports that listeria is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the U.S., causing 1,600 infections and 260 deaths annually. While healthy individuals may experience temporary symptoms like fever, headache, and diarrhea, listeriosis poses a significant risk to pregnant women, potentially leading to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or neonatal infection. This recall highlights growing public concerns about food safety, with over 80% of Americans expressing worry about food recalls. A recent Civic Science survey revealed that nearly half of respondents distrust grocery stores and food brands in ensuring food safety, and 30% reported personal experiences with recalled products. The FDA emphasizes the seriousness of Listeria monocytogenes, stating that it can cause severe and sometimes fatal infections in vulnerable populations. The recall remains ongoing, and consumers are advised to check for affected products.
