Spring & Mulberry expands recall to 12 Chocolate Bar products
Spring & Mulberry expanded its chocolate bar recall to all 12 of its product lines on Friday after regulators raised possible salmonella contamination concerns. The North Carolina-based company said the recall now covers every finished product made with one implicated date ingredient lot.
The latest expansion adds four varieties — Blood Orange, Coffee, Pure Dark and Sea Salt — to a recall that had already reached eight products. None of the recalled products has been linked to illnesses, and the company said every item in the expanded recall tested negative for Salmonella.
FDA investigation in Spring & Mulberry
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said its investigation identified a batch of dates as the likely source of the contamination. In the agency’s words, "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."
That finding explains why the recall widened again instead of stopping at the earlier eight-product list. Spring & Mulberry said it is pulling all finished products made with the implicated lot of date ingredients, which reaches beyond the first two rounds of recalls that started with Mint Leaf, Earl Grey, Lavender Rose, Mango Chili, Mixed Berry, Mulberry Fennel, Pecan Date and Pure Dark Minis.
August 2025 sales window
The affected products were sold online and through select retail partners nationwide since August 2025. That means shoppers who bought Spring & Mulberry chocolate bars months ago still need to check packages against the expanded list, especially since the company’s lineup is now fully included in the recall.
For consumers, the immediate step is to compare any Spring & Mulberry chocolate bars at home with the recalled product names. The broadest version of the recall now covers all 12 product lines, but the company and regulators have not reported illnesses tied to the products so far.
