6 lots of Jaime's Spanish Village Jalapeno Ranch recalled over undeclared egg

What was recalled

Jaime's Foods ATX of Austin, Texas is recalling Jaime's Spanish Village Jalapeno Ranch because it contains undeclared eggs. The company announcement is dated Aug. 25, 2026, and the FDA published it on Aug. 26, 2026.

The recalled dressing is packed in 16 oz glass jars with UPC 199284564923. Six lot numbers are included: 69, 86, 108, 113, 116 and 121. The lot code is stamped on the bottom of the jar.

The recall is specific to this product and these lots. The notice does not mention any other Jaime's Spanish Village or Jaime's Foods ATX products, and it does not describe jars with other lot numbers as affected. If your jar of Jalapeno Ranch carries a lot number that is not on the list, it is not part of the recall as posted, though the company's contact line is open to anyone who is unsure.

Why the dressing was recalled

The dressing contains eggs, but eggs were left off both the ingredient list and the allergen warning on the recalled cases of product. The notice uses the standard allergen warning: people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

The omission was discovered during an FDA inspection of the facility where the product is bottled, according to the announcement. The company does not say how the error happened or how many jars are involved, only which lots.

For anyone without an egg allergy or sensitivity, the notice describes no other hazard. The product is being recalled because of what the label fails to say, not because of a contaminant, which distinguishes it from a food-safety recall such as the Salmonella-related mango recall at Walmart and puts it in the same category as the Chocolatey Eyeballs undeclared-milk recall announced a few days later.

Where the dressing was sold

Distribution was regional. The notice says the product was sold at Central Market retail stores in Texas and at local independent retailers in Austin, Texas, beginning on April 3, 2026. It does not list which Central Market locations, name the independent retailers or give an end date for sales.

Central Market is the only chain named on the notice. Shoppers who bought the dressing anywhere else in Austin should still check the lot number, since the announcement covers local independent retailers without naming them.

Because the sales window opened in early April 2026, jars bought months ago may still be in refrigerators or pantries. The notice does not state a use-by date, so the lot number on the bottom of the jar is the only way to tell whether a jar is included. The notice does not mention online sales or distribution outside Texas.

How to identify the recalled jars

Turn the jar over. The lot code is stamped on the bottom of the 16 oz glass jar, and the recalled lots are 69, 86, 108, 113, 116 and 121. The UPC on the label is 199284564923. The notice does not list best-by dates, so the lot number is the deciding identifier.

If the stamp is smudged or unreadable, the notice does not provide an alternative check; contact the company with the UPC and your purchase details. The company says consumers will receive a response within 12 hours.

Reported illnesses

None reported. The announcement states that no illnesses have been reported to date, as of the Aug. 25, 2026 company announcement. The recall was prompted by an inspection finding, not by a consumer complaint.

The notice's health language is limited to the standard egg-allergen warning quoted above. It does not describe symptoms, and it does not advise people who have already eaten the dressing to do anything specific. This article does not add medical guidance the notice does not contain.

For comparison, the Donutful donut recall in this series was triggered by one reported allergic reaction; the Jaime's recall was not.

What to do if you bought it

The remedy is a return. In the notice's words, consumers who have purchased Jaime's Spanish Village Jalapeno Ranch may return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. The company does not describe a mail-in option or a refund paid directly by Jaime's Foods ATX, and it does not say whether a receipt is required.

Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-855-833-1442 or by email at info@jaimessalsas.com. The notice adds that consumers will receive a response within 12 hours.

1. Check the bottom of the jar for lot 69, 86, 108, 113, 116 or 121, and confirm the UPC 199284564923 on the label.
2. If it matches, the jar is part of the recall; the notice warns that people with an egg allergy or severe sensitivity risk a serious or life-threatening reaction.
3. Return the jar to the place of purchase for a full refund, as the company states.
4. Keep the receipt if you have it, and photograph the lot stamp and label before returning the jar.
5. Call 1-855-833-1442 or email info@jaimessalsas.com with questions; the company says it responds within 12 hours.

Who issued the recall and when

The recall was announced by Jaime's Foods ATX of Austin, Texas. The FDA lists the company announcement date as Aug. 25, 2026 and its publish date as Aug. 26, 2026, the product type as Food & Beverages (Allergens), the brand as Jaime's Spanish Village, the product as Jalapeno Ranch Dressing and the reason as undeclared eggs.

The FDA posts company announcements as a public service and does not endorse the product or the company. The posting carries no FDA recall number and no Class I, II or III classification; if the agency assigns a classification, it appears in the FDA's Enforcement Reports rather than on the announcement.

The announcement itself says the problem was found during an FDA inspection of the bottling facility. The notice does not give a status beyond the announcement, so readers should check the FDA page for any update, such as additional lots.

How to monitor recalls and why to keep your receipts

Small regional brands do not always make national news, so check the sources directly. Food recalls are posted on the FDA recalls page and through FoodSafety.gov alerts; meat and poultry recalls come from USDA FSIS; household products are on the CPSC recalls page; and vehicle recalls can be checked by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Retailers sometimes notify customers who bought a recalled item, and a brand's own website often posts its notice first.

Before you return or discard a recalled product, keep the receipt and photograph the packaging, including the lot code, UPC and best-by date. That proof of purchase may matter if a company refund, reimbursement or a future claim program becomes available. Our guide to finding unclaimed money covers other records worth keeping.
