Do not sell or serve recalled Sweet Cream-Brand Mini Pastries. FDA’s investigation is ongoing.
These pastries are ready-to eat (RTE) and were served at catered events and sold at food service locations such as hotel cafes, bakeries, institutions, and restaurants. Pastries may have been sold individually or in smaller packages, with or without a label that may not bear the same brand, product name, or best by date. Consumers who are unsure if they have purchased the recalled products are advised to contact their retailer.
The food service customers who received the recalled product have been contacted directly by the distributing firms, and the recalled product should no longer be available for sale.
Symptoms of Salmonella Infection:
Illness usually occurs within 12 to 72 hours after eating food that is contaminated with Salmonella, and the symptoms usually lasts four to seven days. Symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Children younger than five, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe infections.
Stores Affected
Recalled mini pastries were distributed in FL, NJ, NY, and PA to food service locations such as hotel cafes, bakeries, institutions, and restaurants. The mini pastries were also served at catered events. The firm has directly notified customers who received the recalled product, and the recalled product should no longer be available for sale. FDA is working to determine if the recalled product was further distributed to other states. This advisory will be updated as needed.
The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state, local, and international partners, are investigating illnesses in a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis infections linked to Sweet Cream-brand mini pastries manufactured in Italy and exported into the United States by Importations Piu Che Dolci Inc. of Quebec, Canada.
The recalled products were imported by two distributors in the U.S. who were contacted about the recall. One distributor had no product on hand, and the second distributor quarantined all product on hand and informed all of their downstream customers of the recall. As part of this investigation, FDA conducted traceback for one of the U.S. cases and identified that they were served recalled Sweet Cream-brand mini pastries at a restaurant prior to becoming sick. The restaurant received the pastries from one of the U.S. distributors.
As of January 29, 2025, a total of 18 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella have been reported from seven states. Of the 18 people for whom information is available, one person has been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported. Of the 5 people interviewed, 3 (60%) reported eating pastries.
Food service customers who received the recalled product have been contacted directly. FDA is continuing to work with Importations Piu Che Dolci Inc. and their U.S. customers to determine the distribution of this product and if additional downstream recalls are necessary. The recalled product should no longer be available for sale, and there does not appear to be a continued public health risk for consumers.
