Spring & Mulberry, a US-based chocolate firm, has expanded its voluntary recall to include all 12 of its product lines due to potential salmonella contamination. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the expanded recall on Friday, May 8, following an investigation that identified a single lot of date ingredient as the likely source of contamination.
The company, headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, initially recalled its Mint Leaf Date Sweetened Chocolate Bar in January. The affected products were sold online and through select retail partners nationwide since August 2025. No confirmed illnesses have been reported, and all tested batches have returned negative results for salmonella.
The recalled flavours include blood orange, coffee, earl grey, lavender rose, mango chilli, mint leaf, mixed berry, mulberry fennel, pecan date, pure dark, pure dark mini, and sea salt. Consumers are advised not to eat the chocolate and to dispose of it immediately. For a refund, they should email a photo of the product packaging showing the batch code to recalls@springandmulberry.com.
Salmonella infection typically causes diarrhoea, fever, and stomach cramps within 8 to 72 hours. While most recover without treatment, vulnerable groups such as pregnant women may experience severe symptoms. This recall follows recent UK salmonella-related recalls, including Good4U Super Sprouts Super Greens and Sacor Bastides Saucisson Sec.
