Dunkin’ Donuts Recall

What You Need to Know About the Listeria Scare

A recent recall of over 2 million baked goods has caught the attention of Dunkin’ fans nationwide. If you’ve picked up a donut or pastry in the past few weeks, here’s what you need to know—and how Youdle can help you find safe alternatives near you.

What’s Going On?

FGF Brands, a major supplier for Dunkin’ and other retailers, has voluntarily recalled several baked goods due to potential Listeria contamination at one of its U.S. facilities. While no illnesses have been reported, the company is taking extra precautions to ensure consumer safety.

Recalled Dunkin’ Products Include:

  • Just Baked Yeast Rings
  • Just Baked Yeast Munchkins
  • Just Baked Sour Cream Cake Donuts
  • Just Baked Coffee Rolls
  • Just Baked Eclairs

FGF assures customers that all recalled items have already passed their expiration dates, meaning they should no longer be in stores.

Why Does This Matter?

Listeria monocytogenes is a bacteria that can lead to serious foodborne illness, particularly in pregnant individuals, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can range from mild flu-like discomfort to severe complications. Unlike many bacteria, Listeria can survive and grow in cold environments—which is why it’s important to discard any affected products.

What Should You Do?

  • If you have any of these items at home, throw them away immediately—even if they look or smell fine.
  • Check with your local Dunkin’ location if you’re unsure whether their inventory was affected.
  • If you have questions, FGF Brands can be reached at customercare@fgfbrands.com.

Weekly Recall Roundup: Major Listeria Outbreaks and Ice Cream Alerts

By Johnita Anthony,
Weekly Recall Roundup: Listeria Outbreaks and Ice Cream Allergen Alerts This week’s grocery watch highlights several major recalls and public-health alerts affecting everyday shoppers and store operators. Federal agencies and retailers have pulled multiple ready-to-eat pasta items and fresh fruit over concerns about Listeria, linked in some reports to serious illnesses and deaths. At the same time, a nationally distributed ice cream bar has been voluntarily recalled for an undeclared wheat ingredient, prompting allergen warnings and product removals across multiple supermarket chains.

When to wash produce for maximum freshness and safety

By Johnita Anthony,
  MEMPHIS, Tenn. (Youdle) – When you bring produce home, deciding whether to wash it right away or wait can affect both safety and shelf life. The simple rule: wash produce that’s going straight to the kitchen before eating, but hold off on washing items you’ll store. Moisture speeds spoilage and invites mold, so keeping berries, greens, and herbs dry in the fridge will stretch their life. For firmer produce with tougher skins — apples, potatoes, citrus — a quick rinse before storing is fine, but dry thoroughly. Before eating: rinse under cool running water and gently rub to remove dirt and residues. Don’t use soap or vinegar—water and friction do the job. For storage: keep pre-washed bagged greens sealed; wash only before serving. Dry produce completely (salad spinner or paper towels) to slow spoilage. Use a dedicated produce brush for roots like potatoes and carrots. For busy shoppers, small habits save money and time: label washed batches, store dry items in breathable co...
