May 5, 2026: JBSS Announces Fisher Tex Mex Trail Mix Recall

John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. announced a voluntary recall of Fisher Tex Mex Trail Mix on May 5, 2026. The item number is P27594, the UPC is 070690275941, and the best-by date is 08/06/27. A third-party supplier made the seasoning with dry milk powder recalled by California Dairies, Inc. for possible Salmonella. It tested negative before use. The FDA posted the notice May 6, 2026 [1].

What Is Salmonella?

According to the CDC, Salmonella are bacteria, or germs, that can make people sick with an illness called salmonellosis [2]. People become infected by swallowing the bacteria.

Which Fisher Nuts Are Affected?

The recall affects one Fisher-brand product: Fisher Tex Mex Trail Mix in a 30-ounce bag. Consumers can match the details below to their bag:

• Fisher Tex Mex Trail Mix, 30 oz bag
• JBSS item number P27594 and UPC 070690275941
• Best by date 08/06/27

These identifiers match both the FDA’s recall notice and the company’s press release, so consumers can cross-check either source [3]. John B. Sanfilippo & Son also recalled five non-Fisher items across three other snack-mix brands made with the same seasoning, sold under different names and package sizes than the Fisher product. The FDA has not assigned this recall a formal recall or campaign number, so shoppers should rely on the item number and UPC above to confirm a match.

Why Were Fisher Nuts Recalled?

Fisher Tex Mex Trail Mix was recalled because a third-party seasoning supplier, not John B. Sanfilippo & Son, used dry milk powder that had already been pulled from the market elsewhere for possible Salmonella. That seasoning tested negative for Salmonella before it was used, so the company is treating the recall as a precaution rather than a confirmed contamination. No illnesses have been linked to the product. The dry milk powder recall began with California Dairies, Inc. JBSS used that same seasoning batch across several of its snack brands beyond Fisher. The recalled batch had already reached shoppers through retail stores, e-commerce, and QVC by the time the recall was announced.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

As of the May 5, 2026 recall announcement, John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. had not received any reports of illness. This applies to the recalled Fisher Tex Mex Trail Mix and to the other affected snack mix products. The recall was issued as a precaution after the seasoning ingredient tested negative for Salmonella. It was not issued because anyone reported becoming sick. Salmonella symptoms can take up to six days to appear, so a reaction tied to this batch might not show up right away, according to CDC guidance [4]. Anyone who ate the recalled product and later became sick should still watch for symptoms. They should consider contacting a doctor, even though no cases had been confirmed.

What Should Consumers Do?

Anyone who bought the recalled Fisher Tex Mex Trail Mix should take the following steps:

1. Stop eating the product immediately.
2. Check the package for item number P27594, UPC 070690275941, and a best-by date of 08/06/27.
3. Return the product to the store of purchase for a full refund or replacement.
4. Watch for Salmonella symptoms, including fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, per the same CDC guidance cited above.
5. Call a doctor if diarrhea or vomiting lasts more than two days, or if the stool has blood.
6. Call a doctor if a fever tops 102 degrees Fahrenheit, or if signs of dehydration appear.
7. Call JBSS Customer Service at (800) 874-8734, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time, with questions about the recall. You can also file a report with the FDA at 1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332).

Legal Options

Schmidt & Clark is reviewing possible Salmonella and food-poisoning claims. These claims involve recalled JBSS snack mix products, including Fisher Tex Mex Trail Mix. No lawsuit or multidistrict litigation has been filed over this recall yet. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. Our Salmonella lawsuit overview explains how these claims work. Readers who got sick after eating a recalled product can use the case review link above. That starts a free review of their situation.

Filing Deadlines

State law, not this recall notice, sets the deadline for a Salmonella-related claim, and that timeline differs from one state to another. Two things usually matter most: where the reader lives, and the date an illness was diagnosed, which is not always the date it started. Waiting too long can end an otherwise strong claim, so anyone thinking about a claim should speak with a lawyer soon.

Was the Seasoning in the Recalled Fisher Trail Mix Actually Contaminated?
