Mellace Family Brands California, Inc. announced a voluntary recall covering Wegmans Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted in 34 oz tubs and 11.5 oz bags. The Ohio Department of Agriculture posted a copy of the notice [2]. FDA posted the company announcement the same day. The notice says the nuts have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. The company is based in Warren, OH.

December 2, 2025: Company Starts the Voluntary Recall

Mellace Family Brands California, Inc. began its voluntary recall on December 2, 2025. That date is the recall initiation date in the enforcement report. The recall involves the Wegmans nuts in two package sizes. Its listed hazard is possible Salmonella contamination, and the company then announced the recall in its notice. The nuts carried the Wegmans brand name and were sold in Wegmans stores.

What Is Salmonella?

FDA describes Salmonella as a group of bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal illness and fever called salmonellosis [3]. It can spread through food handlers who do not wash their hands. FDA also lists unwashed surfaces and tools used between preparation steps, and raw or undercooked foods, as ways it spreads.

Which Wegmans Mixed Nuts Are Affected?

The recall affects two sizes of Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted sold under the Wegmans brand:

• 34 oz (964 grams) plastic tub: UPC 077890421314, lot code 58041, best by July 28, 2026
• 11.5 oz (326 grams) plastic bag: UPC 077890421352, lot code 58171, best by August 10, 2026

On the tub, the lot code and best by date are on the side above the nutrition label. On the bag, they are on the back below the nutrition label. According to the company notice, Wegmans stores in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington, D.C. sold the nuts. The sales took place between November 3 and December 1, 2025.

Why Were the Wegmans Mixed Nuts Recalled?

The Wegmans mixed nuts were recalled because routine testing by a supplier found one lot of raw pistachios positive for Salmonella. The company began the recall after determining that those pistachios had been used in making the Deluxe Mixed Nuts. The company notice says Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. This is the recalling company’s statement, posted by FDA. The notice leaves the supplier unidentified. It ties the recall to the Deluxe Mixed Nuts products made with those pistachios, which are the two lots listed above.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

The company’s December 5, 2025 notice states that no illnesses associated with eating these products had been reported to date. Reports of illness are not proof that a product caused the illness. As of September 25, 2026, FDA’s list of foodborne illness outbreak investigations names no investigation linked to these mixed nuts [4]. It also has no entry that names Wegmans or Mellace.

What Should Consumers Do?

Follow these steps if you bought or may have eaten the recalled nuts:

1. Check the tub or bag for the UPC and lot code, then compare them with the list above.
2. Return a tub or bag with a listed lot code to the Wegmans service desk for a full refund. The December 5, 2025 notice states this refund.
3. Wash and sanitize the refrigerator, cutting boards, countertops and utensils that may have touched contaminated food, as FDA advises.
4. Wash your hands with warm water and soap after you finish the cleaning.
5. Watch for fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Consult your health care provider if you suspect symptoms of Salmonella infection.
6. Call Wegmans Food Markets at 1-855-934-3663 with questions. Lines are open daily from 8:00 a.m. through 7:00 p.m. EST.
7. Report a product problem or an illness to FDA through the Report a Problem page and its online reporting form [5].

Legal Options

A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. A person who became ill after eating the recalled nuts may have an individual claim. A lawyer would review that person’s own facts. Learn more about Salmonella lawsuit information and food poisoning claims on our site.

Filing Deadlines

Deadlines for a claim over a foodborne illness come from state law. They depend on where the person lives and when the illness began. Some states start the clock at diagnosis. Missing a deadline can end a claim, even one with strong facts, so timing matters. Anyone considering a claim over the nuts should check with a lawyer promptly to learn which rules apply to their own situation.
