“Spring & Mulberry is proactively recalling the specific lot in which this risk applies to protect public health.” – Spring & Mulberry
Salmonella is one of the most well-known foodborne pathogenic bacteria. Its presence in food products poses worrisome health threats for all consumers, particularly for vulnerable populations including young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. Symptoms of salmonella infection can include fever, diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps.
If you have purchased the affected Mint Leaf Date Sweetened Chocolate Bars, please throw them away. Or, you can mail them back to the store where you bought them for a complete and utter refund. Spring & Mulberry would like to encourage customers to explore their pantries! They encourage all consumers to check the lot number listed to prevent having potentially contaminated products.
The Scoular Company recall should further remind consumers and the food industry of the necessity of routine testing and strict quality control measures. Manufacturers and retailers need to be continually proactive in tracking their products to ensure their consumer’s health is never compromised.
