Spring & Mulberry Expands Voluntary Recall Of Select Chocolate Bars Due To Possible Salmonella Contamination

(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire / -- Spring & Mulberry is updating their press release previously issued on January 12, 2026 to expand their voluntary recall beyond Mint Leaf to include additional flavors (see table), due to possible contamination with Salmonella.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly individuals, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals infected with Salmonella may experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, infection can result in the organism entering the bloodstream and causing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis. Individuals experiencing these symptoms should seek medical attention immediately.

The affected products were available for purchase online and through select retail partners nationwide since September 15, 2025. The recalled products can be identified by brand name (Spring & Mulberry), with the following identifiers: flavor name, lot codes, and box color. The lot code is listed on the back of the packaging and inner flow wrap. Please see an example of the packaging and lot code included in the release.

- Earl Grey (Purple Box)- #025258
- Lavender Rose (Light Blue Box)- #025259, #025260
- Mango Chili (Orange Box)- #025283
- Mint Leaf (Teal Box)- #025255
- Mixed Berry (Purple Box)- #025275, #025281, #025337
- Mulberry Fennel (Burgundy Box) - #025345
- Pecan Date (Yellow Box) - #025261, #025265, #025267, #025268, #025339, #025343
- Pure Dark Minis (Blue Box) - #025273

There have been no confirmed illnesses or adverse health effects reported to date. The potential for contamination was first noted after routine third-party testing conducted by the company's contract manufacturer revealed finished product tested positive for Salmonella.

Because Salmonella can be difficult to detect and may appear intermittently, we are now expanding the recall beyond Mint Leaf in consultation with the FDA to include additional production lots made during the same time period on the same equipment. All other lot codes are unaffected by this recall.

Customers who have purchased the affected lots listed above should not consume the products and dispose of them immediately. Customers may request a refund or replacement by contacting Spring & Mulberry at... with a photo of the lot code.

We appreciate your cooperation.
