JBSS Voluntarily Recalls Snack Mixes for Possible Salmonella
In May 2026, John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (JBSS) voluntarily recalled snack mix products that were sold under the Fisher®, Southern Style Nuts®, Squirrel Brand®, and Good & Gather brands® due to a possible health risk from Salmonella.
The recall was issued as a follow-up to a voluntary recall of dry milk powder by California Dairies, Inc. The recalled milk powder was used by a third-party supplier to make a seasoning that flavored the affected snack mixes.
According to JBSS, the seasoning batches tested negative for Salmonella before use, but the company is recalling the products as a precautionary measure because of the potential presence of the pathogen. To date, no illnesses have been reported.
“As a follow up to the voluntary recall of dry milk powder by California Dairies, Inc., John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. announced today that it is voluntarily recalling snack mix products flavored with a seasoning manufactured by a third-party supplier that contained the recalled dry milk powder.”
What Is the Risk of Salmonella?
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.
Symptoms of Salmonella infection in healthy people may include:
- Fever

In rare cases, Salmonella can enter the bloodstream and produce more severe illnesses such as infected aneurysms (arterial infections), endocarditis, and arthritis.
