If you’ve recently grabbed trail mix for road trips, lunch bags, or those “healthy snack” moments that still end with chocolate-covered peanuts, it may be time to check your pantry.

A new snack mix recall is affecting several products sold at Target (and other retailers) after concerns about possible Salmonella contamination linked to a seasoning ingredient.

The Target Trail Mix Recall Includes Several Popular Brands

The recall involves products sold under the following labels: 

  • Fisher

  • Southern Style Nuts

  • Squirrel Brand

  • Good & Gather 

The most recognizable product for many shoppers is the Target trail mix recall involving Good & Gather Mexican Street Corn Trail Mix.

So, the Good & Gather recall is the one to double-check your pantry for. 

Other recalled products include:

  • Fisher Tex Mex Trail Mix

  • Southern Style Nuts Hunter Mix

  • Southern Style Nuts Gourmet Hunter Mix

  • Squirrel Brand Travelers Mix

  • Squirrel Brand Town & Country Mix

The products were sold in stores, online, and through retailers including Target and QVC.

What Caused the Salmonella Snack Recall

According to the FDA, the affected products contain a seasoning made with dry milk powder that was previously recalled by a third-party supplier over possible contamination concerns.

The company said the seasoning itself tested negative before production, but the recall is being issued as a precautionary measure. 

So far, no illnesses have been reported in connection with the Salmonella snack recall.

Health officials say Salmonella symptoms can include:

  • Fever

  • Diarrhea

  • Stomach cramps

  • Nausea

  • Vomiting

Young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are usually at higher risk for complications.

What to Do if You Have the Recalled Products

If you have any of the affected products at home, the FDA advises not to eat them. You should throw them away immediately or return them for a refund or replacement.

Recalled snack mixes in 2026 are becoming increasingly common lately, especially as ingredient suppliers affect multiple brands at once.

Somehow, trail mix always feels like the snack you buy while trying to make responsible choices. So, be sure to double-check the label before you enjoy a handful or two.
