What happened

Hostess is recalling frozen Powdered Donettes because some packages contained higher-than-normal moisture levels, which could allow mold to grow. About 3,200 packages were affected and distributed across most U.S. states and Canada.

Who is at risk

Anyone who purchased these frozen donettes could be affected, though mold is primarily a concern for people with mold allergies or weakened immune systems.

What to do

Check your freezer for Hostess Powdered Single-Serve Donettes (3 oz., 6 ct.) packages. If you have them, throw them away or return them to the store for a refund. Do not eat them if you notice any visible mold or off odors.
