Some Hostess Ding Dongs are being pulled from shelves after concerns that select batches could be contaminated with mold.
The recall was announced by J.M. Smucker Co., which owns Hostess. According to food distributor SpartanNash, the impacted products include three varieties: Hostess Chocolate Ding Dong Single Serve, Hostess Chocolate Ding Dong, and the Hostess Chocolate Ding Dong Family Pack.
The company has not confirmed which states or retailers received the recalled items. What is clear is that the affected products carry “best by” dates ranging from Aug. 30 to Sept. 3, 2025.
In a statement included in the recall notice, the company emphasized consumer safety: “We are committed to your health and safety, and we follow best practices to ensure the quality and safety of the products we sell. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.”
J.M. Smucker said that no other Hostess products are included in the recall.
Food safety experts note that mold on spoiled products isn’t just unsightly — it can be hazardous. The FDA warns that certain molds, under the right conditions, can produce mycotoxins, toxic substances that can cause illness.
Doctors also caution against simply trimming off moldy spots. Even if the surface looks clean, dangerous compounds may remain inside the food.
