CA Bakery Recalls Walnut Containing Muffins Labeled as Blueberry Muffins

The Brownie Baker, Inc. is voluntarily recalling Nouria Banana Nut Muffins that we incorrectly labeled as blueberry muffins, which do not declare the presence of tree nuts (walnuts).  This recall was initiated after the company was notified by a customer on April 24, 2026, of a labeling discrepancy. An internal investigation determined that a packaging error resulted in banana nut muffins being placed into blueberry muffin packaging.

Comment - We continually see bakery recalls due to mislabeling issues.  Bakeries handle many different products, and so a disciplined system (aka Allergen Preventive Control) is needed to ensure these simple errors do not occur.

Wisconsin Firm Recalls White Cheddar Flavored Products for Salmonella Concerns, Another Recall Linked to Suspect Dry Milk Powder Supply Issue

Jonco Industries, Inc. of Milwaukee, WI, is recalling certain consumer-sized White Cheddar Seasoning products because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.  The recall was initiated after Jonco Industries was notified by its seasoning supplier, JCB Flavors, of a potential Salmonella concern associated with an upstream milk powder ingredient supplied by California Dairies, Inc., which was used in the production of the affected products.

Comment - In this case, it is a supplier's supply issue, where this company bought flavoring from a company that used the questionable milk powder in their process.  This is more of a challenge for the downstream user, but one that needs to be considered when choosing suppliers - knowing the strength of that suppier's supply chain program.

NC Firm Expands Recall of Chocolate Bars After Further Analysis of Involved Lots

Spring & Mulberry, Raleigh NC, is voluntarily expanding its previously announced recall of select chocolate bars due to possible contamination from Salmonella.  The initial recall was published on January 15, 2026.  The potential for contamination was first noted after routine third-party testing conducted by the company’s contract manufacturer revealed finished product tested positive for Salmonella. 

From the most recent recall notice:

"This expansion follows a comprehensive root cause investigation conducted by the company’s manufacturing partners in coordination with leading food safety experts and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The investigation has now identified a single lot of date ingredient used in the production of the company’s chocolate as the most likely source of contamination."
"In response, Spring & Mulberry is recalling all finished products produced with the implicated lot of date ingredient. All products included in this expanded recall have tested negative for Salmonella, and there have been no confirmed reports of illness associated with the chocolate bars referenced below, to date. This announcement follows a recall by the company’s supplier."

Comment - This is where lot tracking of ingredient usage becomes so important.  It seems that a detailed analysis of ingredient usage was not properly conducted when the company (I am assuming the ingredient supplier) issued the recall in January.

Ohio Firm Recalls Slaw Due to Lack of Established Process Controls

My Wife’s Slaw is voluntarily recalling its Original and Jalapeno Heat flavored coleslaw sold in 8 oz and 16 oz glass mason jars. The products included in this recall are adulterated because they were produced without the benefit of inspection and the safety parameters were not able to be verified.

Comment - The company was not measuring import food safety parameters.  Most critical for this would be pH.  Also fill temperature or post-processing temperature depending on how it was processed.
