If you’ve got hot chocolate or frappe mixes in your pantry, it may be time to check the label.

Ghirardelli Chocolate Company has voluntarily recalled several powdered beverage products after a supplier recalled milk powder used as an ingredient over possible salmonella contamination, according to notices from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the company.

The recalled products were largely sold in bulk for food service, though some items were also sold online and could be in consumers’ homes. Ghirardelli said no illnesses have been reported and its own testing has not identified contamination in the finished products.

“Neither we, our third‑party manufacturer, nor the milk powder supplier have received reports of illness or injury related to this issue to date,” the company said in a press release.

The recall is tied to a separate milk powder recall, the FDA said.

Consumer Reports, the nonprofit known for testing and monitoring consumer-facing policy and products, released its annual risky food report in April, naming the 10 foods of 2024 that were subject to the most recalls and/or associated with the largest illness outbreaks. USA TODAY broke it down further on a what-you-need-to-know basis.

What are the symptoms of salmonella?

Symptoms of salmonella infection typically begin six hours to six days after exposure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Common symptoms include:

Diarrhea

Fever

Stomach cramps

Most healthy people recover within four to seven days without treatment, but severe illness can occur in young children, adults 65 and older, pregnant people and those with weakened immune systems.

The CDC recommends contacting a health care provider if you experience:

Diarrhea and a fever higher than 102°F

Diarrhea lasting more than three days

Bloody diarrhea

Vomiting that prevents keeping liquids down

Signs of dehydration, such as little urination, dry mouth or dizziness when standing
