Hostess recalls certain snacks due to undeclared peanut residue

Hostess Brands issued a voluntary recall of 710,000 cases of select snack cakes and donuts over possible undeclared peanut reside in flour. Among the products included in the recall are Ding Dongs, Chocolate Donuts, Zingers Chocodiles and others.

The recall comes after Grain Craft, a supplier of Hostess, issued a recall of certain lots of flour for undeclared peanut residue. According to a statement on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website, the Hostess products recalled were produced using the Grain Craft flour that was flagged.

“While those who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume products containing peanut allergens the amount of peanut exposure from use of the flours and affected products is considered to be low and not expected to cause adverse health effects in the vast majority of peanut allergic consumers,” the statement read.

It noted that Hostess received notice of two allergic reactions related to products included in the recall.
