Ghirardelli Mixes Pulled After Possible Salmonella Risk

A batch of Ghirardelli powdered drinks has been pulled from shelves due to concerns that a key ingredient may be contaminated with Salmonella.

• Trigger: The recall follows an earlier pull of milk powder from a California supplier that raised similar concerns.
• Products Affected:
• Chocolate and cocoa mixes
• Bulk and ready‑to‑mix forms

These items are sold mainly to restaurants, but many customers can purchase them online as well.

What You Should Know

• Salmonella is a dangerous bacterium that can cause fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. It poses greater risk to young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
• The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reports no illnesses linked to these products yet, but it is safer to avoid them.
• If you own any recalled items:
• Do not use the product.
