Giant drug retail company, Walgreens, has announced a recall for their own mini donut brand because of mold worries.

Walgreens Company issued a recall of their "Nice!" Powdered Sugar Mini Donuts due to a possible risk of mold infestation. The recall stemmed from the company getting customer complaints, accusing that there were molds on some of the donuts, according to New York Daily News.

The "Nice!" Powdered Sugar Mini Donuts were distributed to other Walgreens stores all over the country. The product comes in 11.5 oz packages and has WIC number 178206 and UPC number 4902264948 markings on the packaging. These numbers can be seen near the bar code, next to the nutrition facts of the package.

Should any customer have a product that matches the description above, the donuts can be returned to any Walgreens store in exchange for a full refund. Consumers may contact the company for questions and other concerns at 1-800-925-4733.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also sent out a press release on June 10 to alert consumers of the possible mold issue.

The Walgreens Company has over 8,200 stores in the U.S. and according to NJ.com, the company did not know the exact number of products that were affected by the mold.

In other news, the company is also recalling a line of women's multivitamins for failing Poison Prevention Packaging Act standards.

According to Chicago Tribune, around 17,000 bottles of "Well at Walgreens" Multivitamin Women 50+ pills were not child-proof and could be dangerous to children if it were accidentally swallowed. The multivitamins reportedly contain iron that could be harmful to small children. So far, no incidents have been reported.

In the latest news about the company, director Steven Davis will resign on Friday due to "other professional responsibilities."

Walgreens told Tribune that Davis' stepping down was not in any way "a result of any disagreement with the company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices."

Davis' planned departure from the company will be one of the most recent resignations since the company's merge with Alliance Boots—a European multinational pharmacy—last year.

Just this month, Tim Theriault, a chief information officer, resigned after staying six years with the company. He is replaced by Anthony Roberts, a former Alliance Boots executive.

Another Walgreens executive that resigned is Greg Wasson, a chief executive officer who left last December. Temporarily taking his place is Stefano Pessina, a former executive chairman of Alliance Boots and an Italian Billionaire.
