Hostess: Hot Dog and Hamburger Buns Recalled for Possible Listeria and Salmonella Contamination
There is a nationwide Hostess recall on hot dog and hamburger buns that may be contaminated with listeria and salmonella.
According to the recall announcement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Hostess Brands, LLC, initiated the voluntary recall out of an abundance of caution after learning of the potential bacterial contamination from their co-manufacturer.
Specifically, the recall affects Hostess Soft White Hamburger Buns and Soft White Hot Dog Buns. Dozens of batches are included in the recall, all with best-by dates in August and September 2021. (The FDA notice has a full list of batch numbers and best-by dates, as well as photos of the packaging.) The buns were sold via distributors, convenience stores, grocery stores, and other retailers across the U.S.
Listeria and salmonella are both bacteria that, when ingested via contaminated food, can cause (typically) mild cases of food poisoning in most healthy individuals. They both pose a greater risk for severe illness and life-threatening complications in certain populations.
