FRIDAY, May 1, 2026 — Several powdered beverage mixes by Ghirardelli Chocolate Company are being recalled due to possible concerns of Salmonella contamination.

Ghirardelli issued the recall out of caution following a previous recall of potentially contaminated milk powder from a third-party supplier, California Dairies, Inc.

That milk powder is one of the ingredients used in the affected beverage mixes, Ghirardelli said.

No illnesses have been reported.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said the recall includes the following products:

  • 30lb Chocolate Flavored Frappe
  • 30lb Classic White Frappe
  • 4/2lb. Premium Hot Cocoa Pouch Bulk
  • 6/3lb Chocolate & Cocoa Sweet Ground Powder
  • 6/3.12lb White Chocolate Flavored Sweet Ground Powder
  • 6/3lb Vanilla Frappe Mix
  • 6/3.12lb Chocolate Flavored Frappe Mix
  • 6/3.12lb Classic White Frappe Mix
  • 10# Chocolate Flavored Frappe Mix
  • 10# Classic White Frappe Mix
  • 6/3.12lb White Mocha Frappe Mix
  • 6/3.12lb Mocha Frappe Mix
  • 6/3.12lb Frozen Hot Cocoa Frappe Mix

    • The bulk products were mostly intended for food service but could also have been purchased by consumers from e-commerce sites.

    Salmonella is a bacterial organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections for young children, older adults and those with weakened immune systems. In healthy adults, Salmonella infection can cause include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and — in rare cases — severe illness, according to the FDA.

    Anyone who has purchased the recalled products should not drink them but throw them out immediately. If you have already consumed any of these drink mixes and feel ill, contact a healthcare provider.
