A chocolate bar company has expanded an ongoing recall to include its entire range of products due to a possible salmonella risk.
In a statement Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Spring & Mulberry, which makes date-sweetened chocolate bars, expanded a previously announced recall to include all 12 of its product lines.
The initial recall, issued in January, included Spring & Mulberry's date and mint leaf sweetened chocolate bar, sold online and through certain retail partners starting September 15, 2025.
“The investigation has now identified a single batch of date ingredient used in the production of the company's chocolate as the most likely source of contamination,” the agency said in the news release.
The Spring & Mulberry recall affects the following chocolate bar flavors: Blood Orange, Coffee, Earl Grey, Lavender Rose, Mango Chili, Peppermint Leaf, Mixed Berry, Mulberry Fennel, Walnut Date, Pure Dark, Pure Dark Mini and Sea Salt.
Chocolate bars included in the latest expansion of the recall were sold online and through select retail partners nationwide beginning in August 2025. Affected products can be identified by their lot or lot code, UPC number, or box color, which can be found here.
All chocolate bars included in the expanded recall tested negative for salmonella and no illnesses have been reported to date. However, consumers are still urged not to consume the affected products as a precaution.
To receive a refund, consumers must take a photo of the item's packaging, including the lot code, and email it to [email protected] before throwing it away.
According to the FDA, people with salmonella infections can develop symptoms between 12 and 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Symptoms, which last four to seven days and usually go away without treatment, can include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. People with severe infections may experience high fever, headaches, lethargy, rash, or blood in urine or stool.
In recent months, several food products have been recalled due to concerns about possible salmonella infections. Last week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert for meat and poultry products made with dried milk powder that may have been contaminated with salmonella.
Two pizzas with affected milk powder have been recalled: Mama Cozzi's Biscuit Crust Sausage & Cheese Breakfast Pizza and another called Biscuit Crust Cooked Pork Belly Crumbles, Cooked Bacon Topping, Pepper & Onion Breakfast Pizza. Both were sold in Aldi stores nationwide.
The recall also included three Great Value frozen pizzas sold at Walmart: Thin Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch, Ultra Thin Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch and Filled Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch.
Last month, Ghirardelli recalled dozens of its hot chocolate and frappe mixes over concerns that its powdered milk was contaminated with salmonella. However, in a statement, the chocolate company said it was issuing the recall “out of an abundance of caution” and that no illnesses were reported.
