(NEXSTAR) — Additional chocolate bars have been added to an already-expanded recall launched over possible salmonella contamination.

Certain Spring & Mulberry chocolate bars were recalled in January over possible contamination. A day later, the recall was expanded to include additional products.

On Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration shared that Spring & Mulberry has voluntarily expanded its recall after “a comprehensive root cause investigation” found “a single lot of date ingredient used in the production of the company’s chocolate as the most likely source of contamination.”

There have been no reported illnesses, and all products have tested negative for salmonella.

The following Spring & Mulberry chocolate bars, sold online and through stores nationwide since August 2025, have now been recalled:

Some of these items were previously recalled.

If you have any of the aforementioned bars, you’re encouraged not to eat them. Instead, the notice says to take a photo of the packaging, showing the batch code, and send it in an email to recalls@springandmulberry.com for a full refund. The product can then be disposed of.

Salmonella infections are commonly associated with diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, according to the CDC. Symptoms can begin between six hours and six days after you’ve ingested the bacteria. Most people are able to recover without receiving treatment within four to seven days.

Illnesses may be more severe for young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Some may require medical treatment or hospitalization, the CDC explains. Infections can only be diagnosed with a laboratory test of a person’s stool, body tissue or fluids.

Federal health regulators have issued several alerts regarding salmonella recently.

Last week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert for multiple frozen pizzas and pork rind snacks over possible salmonella contamination. Recalls have also been issued for snack mixes, powdered beverage mixes, potato chips, popcorn topping, raw pet food, and cheese curds.

Late last month, the CDC warned of a multi-state outbreak of potentially drug-resistant salmonella linked to backyard poultry. Several cases in that outbreak are among young children, health officials said.
