Several popular snack mix products sold at major retailers including Target and QVC have been recalled due to potential contamination with Salmonella, according to a precautionary recall announced by John B. Sanfilippo & Son.
The company stated that the recall was initiated after a seasoning ingredient supplied by a third-party vendor was linked to dry milk powder previously recalled by California Dairies Inc. over possible salmonella contamination.
Although the seasoning lots tested negative for salmonella before use, the company chose to proceed with the recall out of an abundance of caution.
The affected products were sold under multiple popular brands, including:
Consumers are advised to carefully review package information, including lot codes and best-by dates, to determine whether they have affected products at home.
Salmonella infection can cause symptoms such as:
Symptoms typically develop within 12 to 72 hours after consuming contaminated food.
While most healthy adults recover without treatment, severe infections may occur in young children, older adults, pregnant individuals, and people with weakened immune systems. In some cases, hospitalization may be required.
Food contaminated with salmonella often appears normal and may not show any visible signs of contamination, making recalls especially important for consumer safety.
As of May 7, 2026, no illnesses linked to the recalled snack products had been reported.
Consumers are advised not to eat the recalled snack mixes. The products should either be discarded or returned to the retailer for a refund or replacement.
Anyone who develops symptoms after consuming the affected products should seek medical attention and inform healthcare providers about possible salmonella exposure.
