You might want to check your fridge—a popular salsa sold at Costco has been recalled over concerns it could contain small bits of wood.
San Juan Salsa Co., the brand behind several refrigerated salsa varieties, issued a recall this week after learning that its cilantro supplier, SupHerb Farms, had flagged batches for potential foreign matter contamination. Specifically, small wood fragments.
The affected products were made between December 19, 2024 and March 17, 2025. The list includes several salsa types, from Mild to Pineapple Mango, sold at various retailers. But Costco’s 32-ounce Medium Salsa, a store-exclusive, is one of the key items included in the recall, and the warehouse giant has posted an alert on its site.
The recall spans multiple “Best Before” date ranges, depending on the salsa variety, stretching into late May. All sizes are affected.
San Juan Salsa Co. says it stopped using the problematic cilantro back in March. And to date, no one has reported finding anything in their salsa. But with the same ingredient already causing a separate USDA health alert for soups earlier this month, the company decided to play it safe.
If you’ve got any of the recalled salsa at home, don’t eat it. Best to toss it out or return it to where you bought it for a refund or replacement.
