Snack mix recall hits Target products over salmonella risk

Many snack mix products — including the sold item — are being voluntarily recalled over possible salmonella contamination, state health officials said.

John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. is recalling several products sold under its Fisher, Squirrel Brand and Southern Style Nuts labels, as well as the Good & Gather snack mix distributed by Target, according to an announcement Tuesday from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The recall is linked to a condiment from a third-party supplier that may have contained contaminated dry milk powder. That ingredient was previously recalled by California Dairies, Inc.

“The affected spices were tested for salmonella before use; however, the company is taking this step as a precaution due to the potential that these products may contain Salmonella,” the FDA said.

The recalled items include several types of trail mix, such as Tex Mex Trail Mix, Gourmet Hunter Mix, Hunter Mix, Travelers Mix and Town & Country Mix, which have “best before” dates extending to 2027.

Good & Gather Mexican Street Corn Trail Mix sold at Target is also included.

No illnesses have been reported so far.

Consumers are urged not to consume the products and should return them to the place of purchase for a refund or exchange.

“Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal illnesses in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems,” the FDA warns.
