✎ GovInfoNow plain-language explainer

What happened, in plain English

Hostess is recalling powdered bagged Donettes 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 mold is present.

Why it’s dangerous

The products have higher moisture content than normal, which creates an environment where mold can grow. Mold growth can lead to food spoilage and potential health risks if consumed.

Who’s affected

Owners of Hostess Powdered Bagged Donettes with best-by dates from September 24 to October 4, 2014, and lot codes 202, 210, 211, or 212 are affected. Those storing the product in humid conditions may be at higher risk.

How to tell if you have this one

Check the product label for the best-by date (September 24 to October 4, 2014) and lot codes (202, 210, 211, or 212). The product is a 10.5 oz. powdered bagged Donette.
