NatureBest Pre-Cut & Produce LLc — Class I: PICO DE GALLO-HOT-6/9oz HEB-PICO-HOT-12/14oz
NatureBest Pre-Cut & Produce LLc has initiated an ongoing Class I recall for specific hot Pico De Gallo products due to potential Salmonella contamination in the jalapeno components.
This recall affects NatureBest Pre-Cut & Produce LLc, retail partners such as HEB, and quality assurance teams responsible for fresh produce and prepared food safety.
A Class I designation indicates that the FDA considers this a situation with a reasonable probability that exposure will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. This suggests a significant breakdown in raw material sourcing or processing controls regarding pathogen detection in fresh ingredients.
QA and procurement teams should immediately verify if affected Pico De Gallo lots are in inventory, secure the supply chain to prevent further distribution, and initiate a trace-back investigation on jalapeno suppliers to identify the root cause of the Salmonella risk.
Class I. Reason: Jalapenos have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Product: PICO DE GALLO-HOT-6/9oz HEB-PICO-HOT-12/14oz. Firm: NatureBest Pre-Cut & Produce LLc (Missouri City TX United States). Status: Ongoing.
