The FDA reported that on May 8, 2026, Spring & Mulberry expanded its previously announced recall of select chocolate bars due to possible Salmonella contamination. The expansion follows a comprehensive root-cause investigation conducted by the company’s manufacturing partners, in coordination with leading food safety experts and the FDA. The investigation has now identified a single lot of date ingredient used in the production of the company’s chocolate as the most likely source of contamination. In response, Spring & Mulberry is recalling all finished products produced with the implicated lot of date ingredient. All products included in this expanded recall have tested negative for Salmonella, and there have been no confirmed reports of illness associated with the chocolate bars to date. The affected products were available for purchase online and through select retail partners nationwide since August 2025. The recalled products can be identified by brand name (Spring & Mulberry), with the following identifiers: flavor name, lot/batch codes, and box color. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/spring-mulberry-expands-voluntary-recall-select-chocolate-bars-because-possible-health-risk
