Hostess is ding-dong ditching one of its fan-favorite sweet treats.
The brand announced that it has “initiated a voluntary recall of select lots of Hostess®Ding Dongs® products due to the potential for the presence of mold,” per an online statement made on its website. Hostess specified that an investigation into the problem revealed a mechanical issue with a piece of equipment that “created conditions that could support the development of mold in the product prior to the expiration date.” The mechanical issue has since been resolved, only affecting a select number of products that have been listed in the withdrawal notice.
