The FDA reported that on January 14, 2026, Spring & Mulberry (Raleigh, North Carolina) updated their press release issued on January 12, 2026, to expand their voluntary recall beyond Mint Leaf to include additional flavors due to possible contamination with Salmonella. The affected products were available for purchase online and through select retail partners nationwide since September 15, 2025. 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 that the finished product tested positive for Salmonella. Because Salmonella can be difficult to detect and may appear intermittently, the company is 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. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/spring-mulberry-expands-voluntary-recall-select-chocolate-bars-due-possible-salmonella-contamination?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
