FDA food recalls led by pathogens
Sprouts, berries, mangoes and jalapeno-linked dips
Everything Sprouts, a Minnesota-based company, issued a voluntary recall for potential E. coli and Salmonella contamination in its five-ounce cups of Robust Radish Mix sprouts as well as Alfalfa Sprouts in five, six and 12-ounce packages, as reported in 14 Current Food Recalls Shoppers Should Know About This Week. The alfalfa sprouts are also used in the brand's Crunchy Protein Sprout Mix and Zesty Garlic Mix, so those too were recalled. According to the same report, more than 50 individuals had fallen ill due to the alfalfa product, but none yet from the radish mix.
Mangoes sold in Walmart stores in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania were flagged in the same report. The report describes 302 boxes from Panorama produce labeled under the brand name Martina and featuring a light blue sticker flagged for potential Salmonella contamination, with no illness linked to the recalled mangoes as of writing.
Salmonella fears in jalapenos and related products affected ready-to-eat items, according to the same report. Hardie's Fresh Foods and Coast Citrus Distributors were among those recalling jalapenos that may have contaminated ready-to-eat items like dips and guacamole found in stores like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. Salata Dressings also pulled its Jalapeno Avocado Salad Dressing from HEB stores in Texas after potential contamination was highlighted.
Frozen berries were under a Class I recall for potential E. coli contamination. GreenWise-brand frozen blueberries and mixed berries sold at Publix were categorized as a Class I recall due to potential E. coli contamination, with the FDA flagging the recall as particularly serious, according to the same report. A federal register summary dated September 4, 2026, listed Great Value Organic Triple Berry Blend from Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A. for possible E. coli contamination on September 3, 2026, as captured in Recalls and Alerts: September 4–5, 2026.
Powders, kits, spice mix and nut butter
Food to Live expanded its recall to include powdered greens, with products including Organic SuperGreens and Moringa Leaf Powder possibly containing Salmonella, according to 14 Current Food Recalls Shoppers Should Know About This Week. The Hampton Grocer recalled its Lacnola Lactation Granola due to inclusion of Organic Moringa Powder from the Food to Live recall.
Foods Alive Inc of Angola, Indiana, recalled 8-ounce packages of organic moringa leaf powder because of potential Salmonella contamination, according to Recalls and Alerts: September 4–5, 2026. That notice describes an 8-ounce stand-up pouch with a freshest by date of 110127 and the number 02726 below the date, shipped between January 27 and August 7, 2026, distributed nationwide in retail stores and through online sellers including www.foodsalive.com. No illnesses had been reported to date in connection with the problem, and the company suspended production and distribution while FDA and the company continued investigation after a supplier reported a retail sample of super green powder mix tested positive for Salmonella.
Walmart's Marketside Tomato Bisque Kits were recalled across 29 states due to potential Listeria contamination, although no illnesses had been reported thus far, according to 14 Current Food Recalls Shoppers Should Know About This Week. Jars of Vitasia Asian Style Wok Spice Mix sold at Lidl stores may also be tainted with Salmonella, and Bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter faced recall over potential Salmonella contamination, according to the same report.
Foreign material and undeclared allergens in stored foods
Grand Central Bakery issued a recall for Potato Sourdough Bread after a pallet nail was discovered in one loaf, prompting recall of various sizes sold on August 10, 2026, according to 14 Current Food Recalls Shoppers Should Know About This Week. Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream recalled Outshine Frozen Fruit Bars due to presence of shards of glass, affecting certain flavors sold in 2.5-ounce packages, according to the same report.
Rooted in Rare Aquafaba Powder, marketed as a vegan egg substitute, faced recall due to undeclared eggs, posing concern for consumers who rely on it for dietary restrictions, according to the same report. For preppers who rotate vegan or allergy-friendly staples, the lesson in that report is to match exact product names and package sizes rather than assuming a whole brand is affected.
Egg outbreak declared over, but clean-up remains
What FDA and CDC reported by September 3
According to Outbreak Investigation of Salmonella: Eggs (July 2026), FDA's outbreak investigation was closed and CDC declared the outbreak over as of the September 3, 2026 update. Recalled white shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs from Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. were sold to foodservice and retail customers under various brand names and in bulk, and recalled eggs were past expiration and should no longer be available for sale.
The investigation counted 134 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Enteritidis from 18 states, with illnesses starting on dates ranging from November 21, 2025, to August 12, 2026, according to the same FDA investigation page. Forty-six of 54 ill persons with information available reported eating eggs before becoming ill. There were 34 hospitalizations and no deaths reported.
As part of the investigation, FDA conducted an inspection at Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. in Texas and collected environmental samples. Three samples collected during FDA's inspection were positive for Salmonella and matched the outbreak strain by whole genome sequencing, according to the same page. On July 22, 2026, Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. proactively recalled all white shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs produced at facilities in Texas.
Stores and codes named in the notice

The recall covered white shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs produced and distributed from farms in Texas between June 6, 2026, and July 3, 2026, with sell by or best by dates between July 20, 2026, and August 17, 2026. Only codes P-1950 or 0840962 with a Julian Date between 157 and 184 printed on the side of the carton were recalled. The notice listed Kroger Large 12 eggs, Large 18 eggs, Large 60 eggs, Extra Large 12 eggs, Medium 12 eggs and Medium 30 eggs within that code and date range.

Prepper checklist for this recall week
Check freezer and pantry lots first, especially sprout cups, frozen berry blends, moringa and greens powders, spice mix, pistachio butter, bread dated August 10, 2026, and bisque kits, using exact codes, dates and store lists in the agency notices. Clean any fridge, cooler or storage tote that held recalled eggs or meat-linked dips, and discard or return matching product rather than trying to cook out contamination. Test smoke alarms, anchor dressers, move water-bead toys and unstable chairs out of children's reach, and store power banks and Bluetooth speakers away from bedding until fire-hazard remedies are complete. For vehicles, confirm recall status by VIN on NHTSA.gov on or after the searchable dates given above, keep dealer letters with vehicle papers, and schedule free software, wiring, piston or stability-control remedies before a long trip.
