Food safety hazards remain one of the most persistent and dangerous causes of food recalls in the United States. For millions of consumers, even small production errors, labeling failures, or supplier breakdowns can result in serious or potentially fatal reactions and illnesses. This week, five recalls highlighted how supply chain failures, allergen labeling errors, and undisclosed pharmaceutical ingredients continue to reach consumers across retail, specialty, and online channels.
Below, Source86 outlines the five most significant food recalls of the week of May 4 to 8, 2026, based on severity, distribution scope, and potential impact on public health.
1. John B. Sanfilippo and Son recalls Fisher, Southern Style Nuts, Squirrel Brand and Good and Gather snack mixes over Salmonella risk
John B. Sanfilippo and Son, Inc. (Nasdaq: JBSS) of Elgin, Illinois voluntarily recalled eight snack mix products across four brands after discovering that a third-party supplier’s seasoning contained dry milk powder covered by a separate voluntary recall from California Dairies, Inc. The potential Salmonella risk originated at the ingredient supplier level and traveled downstream through the seasoning formulation before reaching finished products distributed by one of the most established nut and snack companies in the country.
The recall covers Fisher Tex Mex Trail Mix (30 oz), Southern Style Nuts Gourmet Hunter Mix (23 oz and 36 oz), Southern Style Nuts Hunter Mix (30 oz), Squirrel Brand Travelers Mix (16 oz), Squirrel Brand Town and Country Mix (16 oz and 7.5 oz), and Good and Gather Mexican Street Corn Trail Mix (8 oz). Only specific best-by dates are included. The Good and Gather product was sold exclusively at Target stores nationwide. Fisher, Southern Style Nuts, and Squirrel Brand products were also distributed through retail stores, e-commerce, and QVC. The affected seasoning batches tested negative for Salmonella before use. However, Sanfilippo acted out of precaution given the upstream supplier recall. No illnesses have been reported.
What to do: Do not consume the affected products. Return them to the store of purchase for a full refund or replacement. Contact Sanfilippo Customer Service at 1-800-874-8734, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CDT.

2. Second Nature Brands recalls Keto Crunch Smart Mix over undeclared cashews, pistachios and cherries
Second Nature Brands of Madison Heights, Michigan voluntarily recalled specific 10 oz pouches of Second Nature Keto Crunch Smart Mix after discovering that cashews, pistachios, and cherries were present in the product but absent from the label. The company confirmed the issue was caused by a temporary breakdown in its production and packaging processes, resulting in a product containing tree nuts reaching consumers in packaging that did not disclose their presence.
Only one best-by date is affected: February 12, 2027. The recalled pouch carries UPC 077034013405. Pouches with any other best-by date are not included. The product was distributed nationwide through retail stores and online orders. Cashews and pistachios are both classified as tree nuts, one of the nine major food allergens the FDA requires manufacturers to disclose. No illnesses have been reported.
What to do: Do not consume the affected product. Contact Second Nature Brands at 1-800-651-7263 (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET; Saturday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET) or by email at [email protected] for a full refund.

3. Ocinet recalls And Kimchi branded sliced kimchi over undeclared fish (anchovies)
Ocinet, Inc. of Downey, California voluntarily recalled all sizes of its “…And Kimchi” branded sliced kimchi after discovering that the product contains anchovies, a major food allergen under federal law, that do not appear on the product label. Fish is one of the nine allergens the FDA requires manufacturers to disclose on every product sold in the United States.
The recall covers the 126 oz jar (UPC 8541200408), the 63 oz jar (UPC 8541200409), and the 30 oz jar (UPC 8541200411) across all product codes. Distribution was limited to six Zion Market locations in San Diego, Irvine, Los Angeles, and Buena Park in California; Duluth, Georgia; and Lewisville, Texas. Ocinet has suspended distribution of the product until the labeling issue is corrected. The recall is particularly significant for fish-allergic consumers, vegetarians, and vegans who purchase kimchi specifically because it is often assumed to be a plant-based product. No illnesses have been reported.
What to do: Stop consuming the product immediately. Return it to the Zion Market location where you purchased it for a full refund. Contact Zion Market stores via email at [email protected] or contact Ocinet directly at [email protected].

4. We R Nuts recalls Uncle Giuseppe’s Milk Chocolate Bridge Mix over undeclared milk, soy and cashews
We R Nuts LLC of Port Washington, New York voluntarily recalled 254 containers of Uncle Giuseppe’s branded Milk Chocolate Bridge Mix after a facility inspection found that three allergens, milk, soy, and cashews, were present in the product but missing from the ingredient label. The issue was caught during a routine inspection that identified a discrepancy in the product’s ingredient list. Once management confirmed the missing allergens, the company initiated a formal recall.
The recall covers all 11 oz clear rectangular tamper-resistant plastic containers with sell-by dates ranging from September 4, 2026, to November 6, 2026. Distribution was limited to Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace retail stores in New York and New Jersey only. No injuries or illnesses have been reported.

5. Liquid Blenz Corp recalls Good Brain Tonic over botulism risk
Liquid Blenz Corp of Rockville Centre, New York voluntarily recalled all codes of its Good Brain Tonic dietary beverage after laboratory analysis by the Cornell Food Venture Center and field testing by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets food inspectors identified a potential risk of Clostridium botulinum contamination. The recall covers Good Brain Tonic in both 16 oz amber bottles (UPC 860010984468) and 32 oz amber bottles (UPC 860010984475) across all production codes.
The product was distributed nationwide through retail stores and online. Botulism is a rare but potentially fatal illness that attacks the nervous system and can cause symptoms including weakness, dizziness, double vision, difficulty breathing, and in severe cases, respiratory failure and death. The toxin does not alter the appearance, taste, or smell of a contaminated product, which makes label warnings and consumer awareness especially critical. No illnesses have been reported.
What to do: Do not consume the product under any circumstances. Return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Contact Liquid Blenz Corp at 1-516-608-8826 with any questions.

Why it matters
Four of this week’s five recalls involve undeclared allergens, reinforcing that labeling failures remain the single most common cause of food recalls in the United States. The Sanfilippo recall adds a critical supply chain dimension: a recalled ingredient at the raw material level traveled through a seasoning manufacturer and into eight finished products across four brands before the risk was identified. That cascade illustrates why supplier notification systems, real-time recall monitoring, and precautionary recall protocols are not optional for any food manufacturer.
