American food safety regulators have issued a nationwide recall for a specific batch of chocolate bars over fears they may be contaminated with Salmonella.
Details of the Voluntary Recall
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that the company Spring & Mulberry is voluntarily recalling one lot of its Mint Leaf Date Sweetened Chocolate Bar. The affected products bear the specific Lot #025255. The action was initiated after routine testing conducted by an independent, third-party laboratory indicated the potential presence of the harmful bacteria.
Where and When Were the Products Sold?
The chocolate bars in question were available for purchase across the United States through online retailers and in select physical stores. They have been on sale since 15 September 2025. Consumers who have purchased this product are urged to check the lot number immediately.
Importantly, there have been no confirmed reports of illness or adverse reactions connected to this specific recall at this time. The recall is a precautionary measure based on the laboratory test results.
A Pattern of Chocolate Recalls
This incident follows another significant chocolate recall in the United States towards the end of 2025. In that earlier case, Fran’s Chocolate products were pulled from shelves due to an unlisted allergen, highlighting ongoing vigilance and regulatory action within the confectionery sector.
Consumers in possession of the Spring & Mulberry Mint Leaf Date Sweetened Chocolate Bar from Lot #025255 should not consume the product. They are advised to dispose of it safely or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
