Multiple snack mixes recalled, including Target product, over risk of salmonella contamination
Multiple snack mix products — including a Target-sold item — are being voluntarily recalled over potential salmonella contamination, federal 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 a Good & Gather snack mix distributed by Target, according to a Tuesday announcement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The recall is linked to a seasoning ingredient from a third-party supplier that may have contained contaminated dry milk powder. That ingredient had previously been recalled by California Dairies, Inc.

"The affected seasoning batches tested negative for salmonella prior to use; however, the company is taking this action as a precautionary measure because of the potential that these products may contain the presence of Salmonella," the FDA said.
The recalled items include several varieties of trail mix, such as Tex Mex Trail Mix, Gourmet Hunter Mix, Hunter Mix, Travelers Mix and Town & Country Mix, with "best by" dates extending into 2027.
A Good & Gather Mexican Street Corn Trail Mix sold at Target is also included.

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