Chocolate Company Widens Recall Over Salmonella Contamination Concerns

A North Carolina chocolate manufacturer has broadened its voluntary product recall over concerns about potential bacterial contamination that could pose health risks to consumers.

Spring & Mulberry announced on May 8, 2026, from Raleigh that it is expanding a previously issued recall of certain chocolate bar products due to possible Salmonella contamination.

The company had initially issued a recall for select chocolate bars and is now taking additional precautionary steps by widening the scope of affected products.

Salmonella contamination can cause serious foodborne illness, particularly in young children, elderly individuals, and those with compromised immune systems. Symptoms typically include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.

The Food and Drug Administration has posted details about the expanded recall on its website as part of ongoing safety monitoring efforts.

Consumers who have purchased Spring & Mulberry chocolate products are advised to check recall notices and avoid consuming any items that may be affected by the contamination concern.
