Ghirardelli Recalls Hot Chocolate and Frappe Mixes Nationwide Due to Salmonella Risk
Ghirardelli Chocolate Company has initiated a nationwide recall of several powdered hot chocolate and frappe mixes due to a potential salmonella contamination risk. This recall follows a notification from a supplier about possible contamination in the milk powder used in these products. The affected products include a variety of café-style drink mixes, such as frappe, hot cocoa, mocha, vanilla, and white chocolate powders, primarily sold in bulk to food-service operators like cafés and restaurants. Some of these products may also have been available to consumers through online sales. The recall is a precautionary measure, as neither Ghirardelli nor its suppliers have received reports of illness or confirmed contamination in the finished products. Consumers and businesses are advised to avoid using the affected products and follow the provided return or disposal instructions.
