Ghirardelli Recalls 13 Popular Products Over Possible Contamination

Ghirardelli is recalling more than a dozen of its popular powdered beverage and dessert mixes-including its hot chocolate and frappe products-over health concerns.

The cult-favorite chocolate company announced a voluntary recall on Monday, stating that the affected products have "the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella." Ghirardelli explained that the possible contamination is linked to a recall initially issued by California Dairies, Inc., one of its suppliers that provides the milk powder used in several of its mixes.

According to the April 27 announcement, the affected mixes include select varieties of its Chocolate Flavored FrappeMix, Classic White Frappe, Premium Hot Cocoa Pouches, Chocolate & Cocoa Sweet Ground Powder (for beverages and desserts), Frozen Hot Cocoa Frappe Mix, Mocha Frappe Mix, White Chocolate Flavored Sweet Ground Powder (also for beverages and desserts), Vanilla Frappe Mix, and White Mocha Frappe Mix.

Recalled Ghirardelli Products: What You Need to Know

The company said the recalled items were packaged in "large formats intended for food service and institutional customers," but acknowledges that some powdered beverage mixes may also have been available for purchase by consumers through e-commerce platforms, so if you purchased the product online, you'll definitely want to check the lot numbers and best-by dates before you use the mix.
