- The recall now includes multiple flavors such as Blood Orange, Coffee, Earl Grey, Lavender Rose, and others, sold online and through select retailers since August 2025.
- Although all tested finished products have been negative for salmonella and no illnesses have been reported, consumers are urged to check packaging details and avoid consuming any recalled bars.
- Salmonella infection can cause serious illness, particularly in young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals, with symptoms typically appearing 12 to 72 hours after exposure.
