FDA Recall: Spring & Mulberry Chocolate Bars Due to Potential Salmonella Contamination
Spring & Mulberry has expanded a nationwide recall of multiple chocolate bar flavors because the products may be contaminated with Salmonella. Affected bars were sold online and through select U.S. retailers beginning August 2025. If any of the UPCs or lot codes below match a product in your pantry, do not consume it. Instead, photograph the package, email the image to recalls@springandmulberry.com for a refund, and discard the item.
Why did Spring & Mulberry issue this Salmonella recall?
A root-cause investigation traced the potential contamination to a single lot of date ingredients supplied to Spring & Mulberry. Although finished chocolate bars tested negative for Salmonella, the company is recalling the products out of an abundance of caution because the supplier previously recalled that date lot.
Salmonella symptoms and health risks
Common symptoms include fever, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps. Severe infections are more likely in young children, older adults and individuals with weakened immune systems. Seek medical attention if you develop symptoms after eating a recalled Spring & Mulberry bar.
