Spring & Mulberry, a US-based chocolate bar company, has expanded a recall to include all 12 of its product lines due to potential salmonella contamination. The initial recall in January covered only the Mint Leaf Date Sweetened Chocolate Bar.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on Friday that a single lot of date ingredient used in production is the most likely source of contamination. The affected flavours include Blood Orange, Coffee, Earl Grey, Lavender Rose, Mango Chili, Mint Leaf, Mixed Berry, Mulberry Fennel, Pecan Date, Pure Dark, Pure Dark Mini and Sea Salt.
The chocolate bars were sold online and through select retailers nationwide from August 2025. Although all products have tested negative for salmonella and no illnesses have been reported, consumers are urged not to eat them as a precaution. Refunds are available by emailing a photo of the packaging with the batch code to recalls@springandmulberry.com.
Salmonella symptoms, which include diarrhoea, fever and abdominal cramps, typically appear within 12 to 72 hours after consumption and last four to seven days. Severe cases may involve high fever, headache, lethargy, rash or blood in urine or stool.
This recall follows several recent US food recalls over salmonella concerns, including meat and poultry products made with contaminated dry milk powder, and Ghirardelli hot cocoa and frappé mixes.
