✎ GovInfoNow plain-language explainer

What happened, in plain English

Hostess is recalling frozen Frosted Bagged Donettes (11.25 oz) because lab tests showed higher moisture levels that could lead to mold growth. This poses a risk of food spoilage and potential health issues if consumed.

Why it’s dangerous

The products have higher-than-average moisture content, which creates conditions for mold growth. Mold can develop over time, especially in frozen products that may have been stored improperly.

Who’s affected

How to tell if you have this one

Check for best-by dates from August 29 to October 27, 2014, and lot codes 181 through 211 on the packaging. The product is labeled as 'FROZEN ONLY' and comes in 11.25 oz bags.
