Snacks sold at Target voluntarily recalled over possible salmonella concerns
John B. Sanfilippo & Son has issued a voluntary recall on several snack brands.
A variety of snack mixes have been pulled from store shelves after an ingredient in them was voluntarily recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.
Target issued a recall notice for one of its private label trail mixes on Tuesday, sold in retail locations under the Good & Gather brand name. The product was distributed by Illinois-based food manufacturer John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc., which announced a voluntary recall of several snack products the same day, due to the potential presence of salmonella in a seasoning mix produced by a third-party supplier.
That seasoning mix was made with a since-recalled dry milk powder manufactured by California Dairies, Inc., which has previously prompted recalls across several brands nationwide.
"The affected seasoning tested negative for Salmonella prior to use; however, the Company is taking this action as a precautionary measure," John B. Sanfilippo & Son said in its recall announcement Tuesday.
The company added that it has not received any reports of illnesses so far in connection with the recalled items.
This week's recall by John B. Sanfilippo & Son impacts the following products:
The Fisher, Squirrel Brand, and Southern Style Nuts products were sold "in retail stores and through e-commerce and QVC," according to the company.
ABC News has reached out to California Dairies, Inc. for comment.
The John B. Sanfilippo & Son recall announcement was published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday. A full list of UPC codes, "best by" dates, and additional product information can be found the FDA website.
What are the symptoms of salmonella?
Most people infected with salmonella can experience a range of symptoms including abdominal pain, fever, headache, watery diarrhea that may also have blood or mucus, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Symptoms usually begin six hours to six days after ingesting the bacteria. People typically recover without treatment after four to seven days, the CDC states.
Some people, particularly children under the age of 5 and adults 65 and older, or those with weakened immune systems, may experience "more severe illnesses that require medical treatment or hospitalization," according to the CDC.
