It adds that the recall "was a precautionary measure based on [non-product-related] findings" at one of their US doughnut factories. See a complete list here of the recalled products.

Approximately two million pastries manufactured by FGF Brands were recalled due to possible listeria contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said.
