Customers in some states complained of an unpleasant odor and illness, so Entenmann’s-brand bagged Pop’Ems donuts and Bimbo-brand 8-pack Donitas donuts have been recalled.

Bimbo Bakeries USA announced the recall Wednesday in a news release, saying that both products were made in the same facility.  “While the potential for serious health problems is low, some consumers are sensitive to the uncharacteristic off-smell and should not eat the recalled products because of possible temporary gastrointestinal distress, including nausea and diarrhea,” the company stated.  

Bimbo Bakeries said the donuts were being taken off shelves in the following states because “they may develop an uncharacteristic smell and become moldy:”
