John B. Sanfilippo & Son Recalls Snack Mixes Over Salmonella Concerns

John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. has initiated a voluntary recall of various snack mix products due to potential salmonella contamination. The affected items, sold under the Fisher, Southern Style Nuts, Squirrel Brand, and Good & Gather brands, were distributed nationwide through retail stores, e-commerce platforms, and QVC.

The recall stems from a seasoning ingredient supplied by a third party, which contained dry milk powder previously recalled by California Dairies, Inc. Although the seasoning batches tested negative for salmonella prior to use, the company is undertaking this recall as a precautionary measure. To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with these products.

Consumers are advised not to consume the recalled products and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund or replacement. For further inquiries, customers can contact John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. Customer Service at (800) 874-8734, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM Central Daylight Time.

Salmonella infection can cause serious and sometimes fatal illnesses, particularly in young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Symptoms typically include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the infection can spread to the bloodstream and lead to more severe complications.
