Key Points:
- Spring & Mulberry has voluntarily expanded its recall of certain chocolate bars after identifying a single lot of date ingredient as the likely source of possible salmonella contamination.
- The recalled chocolate bars, sold nationwide since August 2025, have tested negative for salmonella, and no illnesses have been reported to date.
- Consumers are advised not to eat the recalled products and to email a photo of the packaging with batch code to recalls@springandmulberry.com for a full refund before disposing of the items.
- Salmonella infections can cause diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, with symptoms appearing between six hours and six days after exposure; vulnerable groups may experience more severe illness requiring medical treatment.
- Recent salmonella alerts have also been issued for various food products, including frozen pizzas, pork rinds, snack mixes, and raw pet food, amid a multi-state outbreak linked to backyard poultry.
