A major recall has been announced for more than 2 million cases of donuts and baked goods due to potential listeria contamination. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued the alert after FGF, LLC, a bakery based in Indiana, voluntarily pulled 60 different bakery products from stores nationwide and in Canada.
Why the Recall Was Issued
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacteria that can cause serious illness, especially for young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include fever, headaches, confusion, and even seizures. While healthy individuals may experience only short-term discomfort, listeria infections can be life-threatening for at-risk groups.
The recall was classified as a Class II by the FDA, meaning that while the health risks are significant, they are not always life-threatening. However, experts warn that anyone who has purchased these products should take precautions.
