Taylor Fresh recall news affects anyone who bought refrigerated pico de gallo this fall. On September 23, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recorded a Class I recall. The company is Taylor Fresh Foods Inc. The product may be contaminated with Salmonella. The recall covers 6,264 units. Class I is the FDA’s most serious recall level. As a result, check your refrigerator today. This guide covers what was recalled, the health risk, and what to do next.
What the Taylor Fresh Recall Covers
The recalled item is a 7-ounce container of Pico De Gallo. The label lists tomato, onion, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, garlic, salt, and black pepper. It is a fresh, uncooked product. The package is marked “Keep Refrigerated.”
The fastest way to identify it is the UPC code. Look for UPC 688267575778 on the package. The label should also read “Distributed By: ADUSA Distribution, LLC, Salisbury, NC 28147.” If both details match, treat your container as part of the taylor fresh recall.
The agency record lists 6,264 units. However, the record we reviewed does not list lot codes or use-by dates. It also does not name the stores that sold the product. ADUSA Distribution supplies grocery stores, but the record does not say which ones carried this item. For exact lot and date details, check the official FDA recall notice.
Fresh salsas like this one typically have a short shelf life. In most cases, they last only days to a few weeks once refrigerated. As a result, much of the product may already be eaten or thrown out. Still, some containers may be sitting in home refrigerators. If you moved leftovers into another container, check those too.
The Hazard and Reported Injuries
The listed hazard is potential contamination with Salmonella. Salmonella is a group of bacteria that causes foodborne illness. The CDC lists it among the most common causes of food poisoning in the United States. Pico de gallo is eaten raw. No cooking step kills bacteria before it is served.
Symptoms typically include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. They often start six hours to six days after eating contaminated food. Most people recover within four to seven days. However, some cases become severe. The infection can spread beyond the intestines. Some people need hospital care.
Some groups face higher risk. These include children under five and adults 65 and older. People with weakened immune systems are also at higher risk. Pregnant people should take extra care. The FDA classified the taylor fresh recall as Class I. That means there is a reasonable probability the product could cause serious health problems or death.
The agency record does not say whether any illnesses have been reported. We will not guess either way. If you ate this product and feel sick, contact a doctor. Here are the key facts from the FDA record for the taylor fresh recall.

What To Do If You Own This Product
First, stop eating the product. Do not taste it to see if it seems fine. Salmonella usually does not change how food looks, smells, or tastes. As a result, a container can seem normal and still be contaminated.
Next, confirm the product. Look for the 7-ounce Pico De Gallo with UPC 688267575778. Check for the ADUSA Distribution, LLC line on the label. If the details match, your container is part of the taylor fresh recall. Seal it in a bag so it does not touch other food.
We have not listed the remedy here. The remedy text in the agency record did not match this product, so we withheld it. Instead, follow the instructions in the official FDA recall notice. You can also contact the store where you bought it. Keep your receipt if you have one.
Finally, clean up. Wash any shelves, drawers, or containers that touched the product. Use hot, soapy water, then sanitize. Wash your hands well afterward. If you feel ill after eating the salsa, call your doctor. For example, tell them what you ate and when. You can also report illness through the FDA Safety Reporting Portal.
Does a Taylor Fresh Recall Mean You Can Sue?
A recall is not a lawsuit. It is a safety action. A company removes a product from the market, often with FDA oversight. The taylor fresh recall is a step to protect consumers. It does not, by itself, create a legal claim for anyone.
A legal claim typically needs more than a recall. In most cases, a person must show they were actually harmed. They must also show the product caused that harm. For example, a lab test linking an illness to a specific Salmonella strain can matter. Medical records and proof of purchase can also help.

How Recalls Connect to Mass Tort Cases
A recall can become evidence later. Lawyers may use recall notices, FDA classifications, and company records to show a known problem. However, a recall alone rarely decides a case. Courts still look at injury and causation for each person.
The Philips CPAP recall is one example. In June 2021, Philips recalled millions of breathing devices over foam that could break down. Lawsuits were later combined in federal court in Pennsylvania. Takata airbags are another example. Defective inflators led to the largest auto recall in U.S. history. Years of litigation followed.
Food recalls sometimes follow a similar path. For example, the 2008-2009 Peanut Corporation of America Salmonella outbreak led to civil suits. It also led to criminal convictions of company executives. Even so, most food recalls never become mass torts. Whether the taylor fresh recall leads to any litigation is unknown.
