Whole Foods Market is recalling specific containers of Mango Pineapple Salsa and Mild Guacamole Dip due to possible Salmonella contamination in the jalapenos used to make them [1][2]. The recall, initiated by WFM Purchasing, LP on August 7, 2026, is classified as a Class I recall [1][2]. The affected items are Whole Foods Mango Pineapple Salsa, sold as a condiment in Caribbean Mango Pineapple Turkey Burger, and Whole Foods Mild Guacamole Dip [1][2]. Both products require refrigeration and are packed in various sized clear plastic containers where a finished product label is applied after weighing [1][2]. The recalled salsa contains PLU codes located under the label bar code starting with 25, while the guacamole dip contains codes 21211600000, 21501700000, 25705700000, 25054100000, and 25926000000 [1][2]. The Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service recorded the recall details in the public feed [1][2]. The read here is that the risk is isolated to the jalapeno ingredient within these specific product lines rather than a broader manufacturing defect [1][2].
