What’s the Problem?
The recall involved a seasoning made with dry milk powder supplied by a third party. John B. Sanfilippo & Son said that ingredient may have contained Salmonella, which led to a voluntary recall of certain snack mix products sold under several brand names.
For Squirrel Brand, the affected products were specific Travelers Mix and Town & Country Mix items. A consumer would have no reliable way to see Salmonella contamination by simply looking at the package or smelling the product.
Latest Updates
- May 5, 2026 – John B. Sanfilippo & Son voluntarily recalled certain snack mix products because a seasoning ingredient may have contained Salmonella. The affected Squirrel Brand items included Travelers Mix, 16 oz, item 05120, UPC 07223899166, with best by dates 04/30/27, 05/28/27, and 06/24/27; Town & Country Mix, 16 oz, item 05251, UPC 07223805251, with best by dates 05/01/27, 05/25/27, and 05/28/27; and Town & Country Mix, 7.5 oz, item 05450, UPC 07223805450, with best by date 02/10/27. The company said there had been no reported illnesses connected to the recalled items at the time of the announcement [1].
Recalled Squirrel Brand Products
The recall covered more than one Squirrel Brand product. The affected items were:
- Squirrel Brand Travelers Mix, 16 oz
- Squirrel Brand Town & Country Mix, 16 oz
- Squirrel Brand Town & Country Mix, 7.5 oz
Each one was tied to specific UPCs and best by dates. That product information can make a major difference if a family is trying to confirm whether a snack mix at home was part of the recall.
Why Salmonella Matters
Salmonella can cause a serious foodborne illness, especially in children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Healthy adults can also develop fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain after eating contaminated food.
Some infections become severe enough to require urgent medical care or hospitalization. In the most serious cases, the infection can spread beyond the intestines and create additional medical complications.
Where the Products Were Sold
The company said the affected Squirrel Brand products were distributed in retail stores and through e-commerce and QVC. That kind of distribution matters because it means the recalled products may have reached households in many states before the recall was announced.
National snack product sales can also make food poisoning cases harder to connect right away. A person may get sick days later without immediately realizing the recalled product was the source.
What Consumers Should Do Now
Consumers who still have the recalled Squirrel Brand products should not eat them. The company said affected items should be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund or replacement.
If someone in your household became sick after eating one of these products, it may help to keep the bag, UPC, best by date, and any purchase records. Medical records and lab results can also become important if a food poisoning claim later needs to be evaluated.
Do You Qualify for a Squirrel Brand Nuts Recall Lawsuit?
A legal review may be appropriate if you or a loved one ate recalled Squirrel Brand snack mix and later developed symptoms consistent with Salmonella infection. Claims are often stronger when there is proof of purchase, proof of consumption, and medical evidence connecting the illness to the recalled food.
Evidence to Gather
- The product bag showing the UPC and best by date
- Store receipts or online order confirmations
- Medical records and lab results, if available
- Hospital, urgent care, or pharmacy records
- Any public health communications related to the illness
Potential Damages
Potential damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other documented losses related to foodborne illness.
