How Does Listeria Get Into Donuts?

I know it can be found on produce such as cantaloupes, they sit on the ground as they ripen and pick up germs. But how can 2 million donuts be at risk for listeria and be recalled? I believe this is being done on purpose, industrial sabotage to the food supply.

FWIW, I just checked and listeria does not form spores when threatened.

For a bit of awareness of how bacteria behave I suggest watching some of Professor Bonnie Bassler’s TED presentations.
