The mini pastries were sold to a variety of food-service locations in the U.S., such as catered events, hotel cafes, restaurants, bakeries, and institutions (such as cafeterias, hospitals, retirement residences, etc.).
The mini pastries may have been sold individually or in smaller packages, with or without a label that may have a different brand.
They were distributed in Florida, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and possibly other states. Illnesses have been reported in the following 7 states: California, Illinois, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.
