Salmonella concerns have prompted Dunkin' Donuts to temporarily stop serving Dunkaccinos and hot chocolate.

The coffee chain is withdrawing all hot chocolate and Dunkaccino beverages because equipment used at a supplier's facility was contaminated with salmonella, the company said in a statement.

"We have confirmed that no Dunkin' Donuts products were contaminated," Dunkin' Donuts said in a statement. "However, we have made the decision to temporarily withdraw the beverages from our stores to ensure the safety of our customers."

The supplier, Plainville Milk Products Cooperative of Plainville, Minn., assured Dunkin' that no Dunkin' Donuts products have been contaminated.

The coffee chain said it expects to have the products back in stores later this week.
