Hannaford Supermarkets announced a recall of deli and produce items sold at its Capital Region stores on August 10, 2026 after a supplier warned of possible salmonella contamination in jalapeños.
The supplier’s alert indicated that jalapeños in the affected batches could harbor salmonella bacteria. In response, Hannaford initiated a precautionary recall covering all deli and produce items that may contain the implicated jalapeños. The announcement did not name any additional ingredients or products beyond the deli and produce categories.
Customers who have purchased these items are instructed to examine the packaging for any recall notices and to discard any products that match the description. Hannaford advises shoppers to contact the store where the purchase was made for further assistance.
The recall is limited to Hannaford locations within the Capital Region, and there have been no reported cases of illness linked to the items at this time. The decision to pull the products from shelves follows standard safety protocols designed to prevent potential food‑borne illness.
Hannaford emphasizes that consumers should remain alert to recall notices and follow the guidance provided. The retailer will continue to monitor the situation and work with the supplier to ensure that affected merchandise is removed from the market.
