Recalls

This expansion follows a comprehensive root cause investigation conducted by the company’s manufacturing partners in coordination with leading food safety experts and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The investigation has now identified a single lot of date ingredient used in the production of the company’s chocolate as the most likely source of contamination.

In response, Spring & Mulberry is recalling all finished products produced with the implicated lot of date ingredient. All products included in this expanded recall have tested negative for Salmonella, and there have been no confirmed reports of illness associated with the chocolate bars referenced below, to date. This announcement follows a recall by the company’s supplier.

Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals infected with Salmonella may experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in more serious illnesses.

The affected products were available for purchase online and through select retail partners nationwide since August 2025. The recalled products can be identified by brand name (Spring & Mulberry), with the following identifiers: flavor name, lot/batch codes, and box color. The lot code is listed on the back of the packaging and inner flow wrap.

Consumers who have purchased any of the affected products are urged not to consume them. To receive a refund, consumers should take a photo of the product packaging showing the batch code and email it to recalls@springandmulberry.com. After documenting the batch code, consumers should dispose of the product immediately.

Spring & Mulberry takes the safety and quality of its products extremely seriously. Consumers with questions may contact the company at recalls@springandmulberry.com. Customer service will respond during business hours Monday-Friday 9am-5pm Eastern Standard Time.

Healthy individuals infected with Salmonella may experience symptoms such as fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, infection can lead to more severe illnesses, including bloodstream infections, arterial infections (such as infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.

This recall is being initiated because the affected products were manufactured using a milk powder ingredient that is part of a voluntary recall issued by California Dairies, Inc. This ingredient was used in certain topical seasonings.

At this time, no illnesses or injuries associated with these products have been reported. Additionally, third-party laboratory testing of finished products has not identified contamination. However, JCB Flavors is taking this action out of an abundance of caution and commitment to consumer safety.

The impacted products are 1.6 oz retail containers available through e-commerce platforms and retail stores nationwide.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled products are advised not to consume or use them.

For questions or further information, please contact JCB Flavors, LLC Customer Service at 1-920-390-7700.

To date, the Company has not received any reports of illnesses in connection with the items listed below.

Consumers who have recently purchased the items listed below should not consume these products and should return them to the store of purchase for a full refund or replacement.

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems.

Affected Fly By Jing Creamy Sesame Noodles can be identified by looking for Best By (BB) dates on the back or bottom of the packaging. The affected products were distributed nationwide through retail stores (including Whole Foods and Thrive Market) and online at FlyByJing.com between February 1, 2026 to May 8, 2026. The affected products’ Best By Dates are below.

Peanuts are not an intended ingredient in Fly By Jing Creamy Sesame Noodles. Fly By Jing discovered a third-party manufacturer produced the product on equipment that also processes peanuts under conditions that may have led to peanut being in Fly By Jing Creamy Sesame Noodles.

As a result, Fly By Jing has immediately ceased distribution of the affected products, notified customers and retail partners, and placed all remaining inventory on hold. Fly By Jing has implemented additional safety checks and corrective actions, including strengthened allergen-control procedures with the third-party manufacturer.

No other noodle flavors or Fly By Jing sauce products are affected by this recall.

Consumers with peanut allergies should not consume the recalled Creamy Sesame Noodles. Consumers are urged to return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact Fly By Jing at the information below:
