What happened, in plain English

Hostess is recalling powdered single-serve donettes that may have mold growth because they were made with higher-than-average moisture content. This could lead to food safety issues if the product is consumed.

Why it’s dangerous

The donettes were manufactured with higher-than-average moisture content, which creates conditions for mold growth. Mold can cause food safety issues if the product is consumed, but the risk is not immediate or severe.

Who’s affected

Anyone who owns or uses Hostess Powdered Single-Serve Donettes with the listed best-by dates and lot codes from August to October 2014. People with higher moisture sensitivity or those who store the product in humid conditions may be at slightly increased risk.

Check for best-by dates from August 29 to October 21, 2014, and lot codes 181-199, 202-203, 209-211, 219 on the packaging.
