JBSS Linked to Snack Mix Salmonella Recall

In May 2026, John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. issued a voluntary recall of snack mix products sold under the Fisher, Southern Style Nuts, Squirrel Brand, and Good & Gather brands.

The recall was issued as a follow-up to a voluntary recall of dry milk powder by California Dairies, Inc. That milk powder was used by a third-party supplier to make a seasoning that flavored the affected snack mixes.

JBSS stated that the seasoning batches tested negative for Salmonella before use, but the company is recalling the products as a precautionary measure. No illnesses have been reported as of the recall announcement.

What Is the Salmonella Risk?

According to the FDA, Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people who become infected often experience symptoms within days of exposure.

Symptoms of Salmonella infection may include:

Fever
Diarrhea (which may be bloody)
Nausea
Vomiting
Abdominal pain

In rare cases, Salmonella can enter the bloodstream and lead to more severe illnesses such as infected aneurysms, endocarditis, and arthritis. Young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are at the highest risk.

How Many People Got Sick?

As of the recall announcement on May 5, 2026, no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled snack mix products, according to JBSS.

However, official counts of Salmonella illnesses typically underrepresent actual cases, since many people never seek medical care or are not tested. If you believe a recalled snack mix made you or a member of your family sick, our Texas lawyers may be able to help.

Legal Help for Salmonella Victims in Texas

Snack mixes like Fisher trail mix, Squirrel Brand mixes, and Target’s Good & Gather line are everyday pantry staples for families. They are sold at major retailers across Texas.

When a recalled food ingredient like contaminated dry milk powder makes its way into nationally distributed snack products, the consequences can reach Texas families before anyone realizes there is a problem. Children, elderly relatives, and immunocompromised family members face the highest risk from Salmonella.

Texans who got sick after eating one of these recalled snack mixes may be able to seek justice and compensation. Food poisoning lawsuits typically seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. A Texas food poisoning lawyer can help you understand your legal options.
