Hostess Ding Dongs Recalled Due to Potential Presence of Mold

On August 26, 2025, The J.M. Smucker Co. announced a recall of specific Hostess Chocolate Ding Dong packages that may be contaminated with mold, affecting various pack sizes distributed throughout the United States.
The recall followed a manufacturing equipment issue that created conditions supporting mold growth before the products' August 30 to September 3, 2025 best-by dates.
The recall affects five specific lots of 2-, 10-, and 16-count Hostess Ding Dongs, with single-serve packs labeled UPC 8-88109-01002, and no other Smucker products are impacted.
A Class I recall was issued because consuming moldy product could cause serious health consequences, including illness from mycotoxins, and the company apologized for any inconvenience caused.
Consumers are advised not to eat affected products, return them for refund or replacement, and contact Hostess at 1-800-483-7253 for questions, while distributors must destroy recalled items.
