- The FDA posted a company announcement on Friday expanding a nationwide recall of Spring & Mulberry chocolate bars due to potential salmonella contamination affecting products sold online and through select retail partners.

- Company officials confirmed all finished chocolate bars tested negative for salmonella, and there have been no confirmed reports of illness linked to the products to date.
- Numerous food recalls have been initiated nationally over the past year due to potential contamination risks. Salmonella infections can be serious or fatal for vulnerable populations including young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.
