Ghirardelli recalls powdered beverage mixes over Salmonella risk

Ghirardelli Chocolate Company has voluntarily recalled several powdered beverage mixes after identifying possible Salmonella contamination.

The recall is aimed at products in powder form that can be prepared as drinks. Because Salmonella can cause serious illness—especially for children, older adults, pregnant people, and anyone with a weakened immune system—the key issue is preventing exposure before the mixes are used.

What consumers should do

• Check recalled product packaging and batch/lot information against the recall notice.
• Do not use the affected mixes.
• Dispose of the product or return it as directed by the company or retailer.

Why this matters

Powdered mixes are a pantry staple and can sit for a while before use, which increases the risk that households may unknowingly keep an affected item on hand. Even when contamination is rare, the health impact of Salmonella warrants a fast, voluntary response.

If you have Ghirardelli powdered beverage mixes at home, the most practical next step is to verify whether your item is included in the recall and follow the handling instructions immediately to reduce the risk of illness.
