Raleigh, North Carolina (January 14, 2026) — Spring & Mulberry is updating their press release previously issued on January 12, 2026, to expand their voluntary recall beyond Mint Leaf to include additional flavors (see table below), due to possible contamination with Salmonella.

Healthy individuals infected with Salmonella may experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, infection can result in the organism entering the bloodstream and causing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis. Individuals experiencing these symptoms should seek medical attention immediately.
