Winfield’s Chocolate Bar Recalls
HOUSTON, TX, May 5, 2026 — CBSL Commissary LLC, operating as Winfield’s Chocolate Bar, is voluntarily recalling five dark chocolate products sold at its three Houston, Texas locations because the word “milk” was omitted from the ingredient label. Milk is a known major food allergen under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA). People who have a milk allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
The recalled products were sold exclusively at the following Winfield’s Chocolate Bar locations in Houston, TX:
CBRO Centre LLC dba Winfield’s Chocolate Bar — Houston, TX
CBWA LLC dba Winfield’s Chocolate Bar — Houston, TX
CBRV LLC dba Winfield’s Chocolate Bar — Houston, TX
Background & Corrective Action
The recall was initiated after the firm identified that “milk” was inadvertently omitted from the ingredient declaration on the product labels. All affected products have been removed from sale at all three locations and relabeled effective April 27, 2026. No product was distributed to external wholesalers, distributors, or retailers outside of the firm’s own locations.
No illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported to date in connection with these products.
What Consumers Should Do
Consumers who have purchased any of the above products and have a milk allergy or sensitivity are urged to discard the product or return it to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions may contact Alan Underwood at 281-667-9411 ext. 702 or Sweettoothsupport@winfieldscb.com.

RALEIGH, NC, UNITED STATES, May 8, 2026 -- Spring & Mulberry is voluntarily expanding its previously announced recall of select chocolate bars due to possible contamination from Salmonella.
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.
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.
