Hold up! Before you take a bite of that food or fire up the grill this Labor Day weekend, you may want to check this list first.
Labor Day weekend usually means cookouts, family gatherings, going out to eat, and one last big taste of summer. But before you reach for the burgers, dips, potato salad, frozen treats or fruit tray, check your kitchen and pay close attention to the foods you order when eating out. Several foods have recently been recalled because of possible contamination with Salmonella, E. coli or Listeria, undeclared allergens, glass fragments and other safety concerns.
Here are 11 major U.S. food recalls and food-safety alerts you should know about as of Sept. 3, 2026.
Important: Recalls can be expanded or updated. Always compare the exact product name, package size, lot or batch code, UPC and dates with the current FDA or USDA notice before deciding whether a product is affected.
Panorama Produce recalled 302 boxes of size-nine Martina-brand mangoes because they may be contaminated with Salmonella.
The recalled mangoes were distributed between August 10 and August 21 to select Walmart stores in:
Look for a light-blue sticker reading “Agrofepac,” “Produce of Mexico,” PLU 4584 and UPC 07503061948050. The mangoes were packaged in Martina-branded cases. FDA sampling found Salmonella in mangoes from the same farm, although the sampled fruit was not distributed in U.S. commerce. No illnesses had been reported in connection with the recalled product.
Do not try to wash or cut away the contaminated portion. The mangoes were packaged in Martina-branded cases.

Everything Sprouts recalled and later expanded its recall of sprouts that may contain Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, also known as STEC, or Salmonella.
The affected products include:
The recalled alfalfa sprouts were distributed from May 27 through Aug. 21, while the Robust Radish Mix was distributed Aug. 13 through Aug. 26. The products were distributed to wholesale distributors, grocery stores and restaurants in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
This recall is especially important because sprouts are often eaten raw. Refrigeration does not make contaminated sprouts safe, and rinsing cannot be relied upon to remove harmful bacteria. Do not eat, sell or serve recalled sprouts. Throw them away and carefully clean and sanitize any surfaces or containers they touched.
The FDA and CDC are investigating a multistate outbreak involving STEC and Salmonella linked to Everything Sprouts alfalfa sprouts.

A multistate Salmonella outbreak has been linked to jalapeños from Sinaloa, Mexico, distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors. The peppers went to distributors, restaurants and food-service operations, prompting recalls of numerous prepared foods.
The FDA says Coast Citrus began a limited recall of fresh jalapeños on July 22, 2026, and agreed on Aug. 5 to recall remaining jalapeños from Sinaloa implicated by epidemiological and traceback information.
Products affected by downstream recalls include certain:
Brands and retailers involved in various recalls include H-E-B, NatureBest, Trader Joe’s, Freshness Guaranteed, Salata, and Whole Foods Market. Most prepared items had August use-by dates, but consumers should still check anything that may have been frozen. Some recalled products had best-by or use-by dates in August, but consumers should check products that were frozen or otherwise stored beyond those dates.
The warning applies only to the recalled peppers and products—not every jalapeño sold in America. If you have jalapeños from the affected source, do not eat or serve them. If you cannot determine where potentially affected jalapeños came from, the FDA advises working with your supplier to determine the source.
The outbreak investigation had identified 431 illnesses, 57 hospitalizations and no deaths as of the FDA’s Aug. 21 update.

Only the specified five 6-count flavors and the 24-count Variety Pack are affected; other Outshine products and varieties are not included in the recall. If a package matches the recalled product and batch information, do not eat the bars even if they look normal. Dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.

City Foods recalled approximately 3,215 pounds of ready-to-eat pastrami and corned beef over possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The meat was produced on July 16 and has a 60-day shelf life. It was shipped to food-service locations in Illinois, Iowa and Michigan before being further distributed nationwide.
Affected products include:

Do not taste food to determine whether it is safe. Harmful bacteria or foreign objects may not change a food’s appearance, smell or flavor.
Instead:
For FDA-regulated foods, check the FDA’s recall database and outbreak notices. For meat, poultry and certain egg products, check the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service.
Salmonella commonly causes diarrhea, fever, nausea, vomiting and stomach cramps. Symptoms usually begin 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food and typically last four to seven days.
STEC infections can cause severe abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. Some infections can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome, a serious form of kidney failure. Symptoms can begin several days after exposure and, in some cases, as long as two weeks later.
Listeria may cause fever, muscle aches, nausea and diarrhea. A more serious infection can produce headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance or seizures. Pregnant people may have only mild symptoms, but Listeria infection can seriously affect a pregnancy or newborn.
Seek prompt medical advice if symptoms are severe or include bloody diarrhea, dehydration, persistent vomiting or a high fever. Seek urgent medical attention for neurological symptoms such as confusion, loss of balance or seizures.
Pregnant people, adults over 65, young children and people with weakened immune systems are at greater risk of serious complications from certain foodborne infections and should contact a healthcare professional promptly if they develop concerning symptoms.
