CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results independently state that the Ghirardelli recall follows a separate recall initiated by California Dairies Inc. concerning potential Salmonella contamination in milk powder supplied to a third-party manufacturer.

Claim 3: “Ghirardelli said the affected beverage mixes are packaged in large formats intended for food-service and institutional customers, but some may have been available for purchase by consumers through e-commerce platforms.”
CORROBORATED
At least two web search results confirm that the affected beverage mixes were packaged in larger formats intended for food-service and institutional customers, and that consumer availability through e-commerce platforms is a possibility.

Claim 4: “The company said that to date, no illnesses have been reported.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While the claim that 'no illnesses have been reported' is a common statement in recall notices, the provided web search results for this specific claim index (3) discuss different recalls (listeria, botulinum, allergens) and do not provide a consistent, direct confirmation of Ghirardelli's specific statement that 'no illnesses related to the recalled mixes have been reported.' The evidence is too varied and not specific enough to confirm the claim using the required 2+ independent sources standard.

Claim 5: “Consumers who purchased any of the recalled powdered mixes can contact Ghirardelli directly via phone for information on receiving a replacement or refund.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that consumers can contact Ghirardelli directly for replacement or refund information is a standard consumer action item in recall notices. However, the provided web search results for this specific claim index (4) are entirely unrelated to Ghirardelli or recalls (they discuss login and credit unions). Therefore, while the claim itself is plausible based on the context of a recall, the evidence provided fails to corroborate it, making it a single-source claim based on the original article's implied context, but not supported by the gathered evidence.
