Jack Otter and the ‘Barron’s Roundtable’ panelists discuss how big food stocks are taking a hit as Americans choose healthier options.
Some Hostess Ding Dongs sold in the U.S. are being recalled because of the potential that the products may be contaminated with mold.
J.M. Smucker Co., the parent company of Hostess, issued the recall for select lots of the Hostess Chocolate Ding Dong Single Serve, the Hostess Chocolate Ding Dong and the Hostess Chocolate Ding Dong Family Pack, according to SpartanNash, a food distributor and grocery store operator.
It wasn’t clear what states and retail stores the impacted products were shipped to. However, the affected products have “best by” dates from Aug. 30 to Sept. 3, 2025.

Medical experts also warned that you can’t just cut off the mold, either. While this may seem like an easy solution, harmful substances could still be left behind.
