Entenmann's Donuts Recalled for Mold, Odd Smell

Not all Entenmann's donuts are affected by the recall. Donuts recalled include: Powdered, Cinnamon and Rich Frosted Pop 'Ems. These are the miniature donuts packaged in 10-10.5 ounce paper bags with a plastic window.

Also recalled are 8-count Sugared, Powdered and Chocolate Frosted Donitas in 3.6-4.3 ounce packages. These donuts are typically sold in gas stations and quick marts in the packaged baked goods section.

Recalled Entenmann's donuts have expiration dates of May 11, 12, 15, 18, 19, 22, 25, 26, 29, 2011 and June 1, 2, 6, 2011. The products were sold in the western states of Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, California and Idaho. Both Pop 'Ems and Donitas are packaged in blue and white wrappers.

Baked goods are best eaten fresh. Day-old baked goods can be risky because they don't contain as many preservatives, reports the Department of Agriculture. Our local Meijer sells day-old baked goods, but they are discarded at a set time. Consumers cannot purchase after a certain time of night.

Fresh bakery goods and breads will mold more quickly if they are packaged in plastic wrappers. If bread or baked goods are placed in wrappers when they are warm, the steam will condense. The condensation causes mold. Paper packaging is the best wrap for fresh bread and baked goods.

Thanks for the heads up.

This is yet another example of why you should make your own foods and stop buying pre-packaged crap from the store, even if it is baked in-store. You don't know what's in it, they could be using expired ingredients and/or unsanitary conditions. And if they can change the dates on the meats, why not on baked goods as well?

But even when it's "fresh", that stuff is pure poison. The flour they use is so old you just don't want to know, and it's cut with all sorts of chemicals to enhance and condition it. Nasty. The combination of flour, fats and sugar is pure poison for the human body on its most material level, but energetically it throws your balance off as well. So why do it? Why consume this sort of thing at all? When you *know* it's that bad, isn't it just sort of stupid to invite harm - particularly now, when our energy balance is so crucial?

of course your just putting yourself in harm's way with this crap. you can only wish that things like this, the food recalls that is, that some people actually wake up and realize they need to get this stuff out of their diet. but they don't. i won't touch stuff like that. it makes me feel "funny". that was my first clue to stop injesting these kinds of things.

My first clue was being a pastry chef who developed celiac disease. Not by coincidence! Nasty, nasty stuff they use in these industrial chemical products. They shouldn't even be considered edible by any Earth creature. The rest of us already know better!
