Albertsons recalls products sold in New Mexico potentially contaminated with Salmonella

The recall applies to products sold in New Mexico stores and cites a potential salmonella contamination. The action follows a supplier‑initiated recall by Ron’s Home Style Foods, which prompted Albertsons to remove the affected items from its shelves. Coverage of the recall appears across a mix of national and regional outlets. AOL.com and Yahoo reported the recall alongside a broader story about Albertsons closing Safeway, Acme and other stores nationwide.

The Albuquerque Journal, KOAT, KOB 4, KCBD and local radio station 96.3 KKOB focused on the New Mexico impact, specifying the 59 items and the salmonella risk. EverythingLubbock.com, MyHighPlains.com and WFAA also detailed the voluntary nature of the recall and highlighted the involvement of pico de gallo made with the recalled jalapeños. The recall occurs amid heightened scrutiny of fresh‑produce safety after recent salmonella outbreaks linked to similar ingredients. When Ron’s Home Style Foods issued its own recall of the jalapeños, Albertsons responded by pulling the related ready‑to‑eat items to prevent consumer exposure.

Future reporting will likely confirm whether additional Albertsons locations beyond New Mexico receive the same recall and whether any consumer illnesses are reported. Monitoring statements from Ron’s Home Style Foods and any alerts from the FDA or New Mexico health authorities will indicate if the recall expands. Albertsons may also issue further guidance on sourcing for its pico de gallo ingredients as the situation develops.
