The J.M. Smucker Co. has initiated a withdrawal notice for select Hostess Ding Dongs products due to the potential presence of mold. The recalled Hostess Ding Dongs were distributed to retailers across the U.S.
How To Identify the Recalled Hostess Ding Dongs
You can identify the impacted Hostess products by looking for the following information:
2-count Hostess Chocolate Ding Dong Single Serve with UPC 8-88109-01002
10-count Hostess Chocolate Ding Dong with UPC 8-88109-11061
16-count Hostess Chocolate Ding Dong Family Pack with UPC 8-88109-11092
All recalled Hostess Ding Dong products have the best-by dates of Aug. 30, 2025, Aug. 31, 2025, Sept. 1, 2025, Sept. 2, 2025, and Sept. 3, 2025.
The J.M. Smucker Co. says that a mechanical issue in the manufacturing process may have created "conditions that could support the development of mold in the product prior to the expiration date." The company resolved the issue and thus only five lots of product have been impacted.
At this time, no other Hostess or The J.M. Smucker Co. products are being recalled.
What To Do if You Have the Recalled Ding Dongs
It’s not clear if these contaminated Hostess Ding Dong products ever made it to retailers or if The J.M. Smucker Co. withdrew them before hitting shelves. However, at least one store, Tops, has alerted customers to this Class I recall. A Class I recall is the most serious of recalls and means that consuming the product could result in "serious adverse health consequences or death."
Therefore, if you have the Hostess Ding Dong products that may contain mold, you should not consume them. Instead, throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund or replacement.
