Check out what’s clicking on FoxBusiness.com.
A nationwide recall of Spring & Mulberry date-sweetened chocolate has expanded to include eight products due to concerns over Salmonella contamination. This update marks a significant increase from the single product initially recalled on Monday.
According to the latest announcement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the recall now encompasses the majority of the company’s chocolate products, which are known for being sweetened exclusively with dates.
Initially, the recall was limited to Spring & Mulberry’s Mint Leaf flavor. However, it has now been expanded to include several other flavors: Earl Grey, Lavender Rose, Mango Chili, Mixed Berry, Mulberry Fennel, Pecan Date, and Pure Dark Minis.
The Raleigh, North Carolina–based company stated, “Because Salmonella can be difficult to detect and may appear intermittently, we are now 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.”

As of now, no confirmed illnesses or adverse health effects have been reported. The potential contamination was identified during routine testing of a finished product, which tested positive for Salmonella.
Spring & Mulberry advises customers who have purchased the affected lots to refrain from consuming the products and to dispose of them immediately.

Salmonella poses serious health risks, particularly for young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Federal officials warn that healthy individuals infected with Salmonella may experience symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the infection can spread to the bloodstream, leading to more severe complications.
