Latest News About Salmonella Snack Recall

Here’s the latest on salmonella-related snack recalls:

• Multiple snack brands and store-brand products are being recalled in May 2026 after a seasoning ingredient linked to a previously recalled dry milk powder tested positive for potential Salmonella concerns. The recalls cover various trail mixes, nut mixes, and other snack blends sold at retailers such as Target and through online channels; no illnesses have been reported so far, and the actions are precautionary.[1][2][3]
• The recall originated from John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (the maker of many snack brands) and involves seasonings produced with the recalled dry milk powder from California Dairies, Inc. FDA and company statements indicate the seasoning tested negative for Salmonella prior to use, but the precautionary recall was issued to prevent risk.[2][3]

Context for your area (Chicago, IL): U.S. recalls like these are nationwide, so the affected products could appear in or be shipped to Illinois. If you have specific products or UPCs, you can check the FDA recall list or the retailer’s recall notice for exact items and dates.[2]

What to do now

• If you have any of the recalled products at home, stop using them and follow the retailer’s instructions for refunds or disposal.[2]
• Monitor FDA recall notices and retailer announcements for updated UPCs, lot codes, and affected “best by” dates.[2]
• If you develop symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, or abdominal cramps after consuming a recalled product, contact a healthcare provider and report the incident to your local health department.

Illustrative example

• Target’s Good & Gather trail mixes were among the affected products; if you bought a trail mix from Target in the past few weeks, verify the lot codes against the recall list and return or discard if present.[2]
