Spring & Mulberry Chocolate Recalled for Salmonella Risk
In January 2026, Spring & Mulberry, a chocolate-make located in North Carolina, expanded a nationwide recall for several flavors of date-sweetened dark chocolate bars that may be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacteria that can cause food poisoning.
Did Anyone Get Sick?
No illnesses were reported in the recalls announced in January 2026. However, there is a potential risk of Salmonella contamination in the recalled chocolate bars, which poses a health risk.
According to the FDA, “Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly individuals, and others with weakened immune systems.”
How To Identify Recalled Chocolate
The recalled chocolate bars were sold online and in stores nationwide since September 15, 2025. The products include:
- Earl Grey: Lot Number #025258 (Box Color: Purple)
- Lavender Rose: Lot Number #025259, #025260 (Box Color: Light Blue)
- Mango Chili: Lot Number #025283 (Box Color (Orange)
- Mint Leaf: Lot Number #025255 (Box Color: Teal

Original Recall
Spring & Mulberry announced the original recall on January 12, 2026, after a bar of Mint Leaf chocolate tested positive for Salmonella bacteria.
After consulting with the FDA, Spring & Mulberry decided to expand the recall to include other flavors of chocolate that were produced during the same time period and same equipment. The company explained:
“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. All other lot codes are unaffected by this recall.”
Symptoms of Salmonella Infection
The symptoms of an infection may include fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. The FDA also warned about severe complications, such as bloodstream infections, arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.
What Should I Do?
Individuals who are experiencing severe symptoms of Salmonella should seek medical attention immediately.
Spring & Mulberry is urging customers to dispose of the recalled chocolate bars immediately. You can get a refund or replacement by emailing recalls@springandmulberry.com with a photo of the lot code.
