A major snack mix recall has been announced across the United States after concerns emerged over possible salmonella contamination linked to dry milk powder used in seasoning blends. The recall affects multiple popular snack mix products sold under the Fisher, Southern Style Nuts, Squirrel Brand, and Good & Gather labels, including products distributed through retail stores, e-commerce platforms, and QVC.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. voluntarily issued the recall after learning that a third-party seasoning supplier used recalled dry milk powder that may contain salmonella bacteria.
The FDA confirmed that no illnesses have been reported so far, but the company decided to remove the products from the market as a precautionary measure.
Why the Snack Mix Recall Was Issued
The salmonella recall centers around seasoning ingredients used in several snack mix products. Even though the seasoning batches tested negative for salmonella before production, officials say there remains a potential contamination risk because the dry milk powder ingredient had already been recalled.
This latest snack mix recall adds to a growing number of food recalls in 2026 connected to contaminated dry milk powder. Several potato chips, frozen pizzas, pork rind products, and snack foods have already been pulled from shelves in recent weeks.
Consumers are being strongly advised not to eat any of the affected products.

What Is Salmonella?
Salmonella is one of the most common causes of food poisoning in the United States. The infection is caused by bacteria that can contaminate food products, especially dairy ingredients, meat products, poultry, eggs, and processed snack foods.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), symptoms usually begin between six hours and six days after exposure.
Salmonella Symptoms to Watch For
Common salmonella infection symptoms include:
- Watery diarrhea
- Bloody diarrhea
- Severe stomach cramps
- Fever
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Headache
- Loss of appetite
- Dehydration
Most people recover within four to seven days, but severe infections can become dangerous for young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.
The CDC says consumers should contact a doctor immediately if they experience:
- Fever above 102°F
- Diarrhea lasting more than two days
- Bloody stool or urine
- Severe dehydration
- Persistent vomiting
