Undeclared Egg Recall Hits Jaime’s Spanish Village Jalapeno Ranch 2026

Anyone with an egg allergy who has a jar of Jaime’s Spanish Village Jalapeno Ranch dressing in the fridge should check it immediately. Jaime’s Foods ATX, based in Austin, Texas, has issued an allergy alert and recall for the dressing after discovering it contains undeclared eggs, a hidden ingredient that could trigger a serious or even life-threatening allergic reaction in sensitive consumers.

The company announced the recall on August 25, 2026, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration published the notice the following day. The issue was not caught by consumer complaints or reported reactions. Instead, it surfaced during an FDA inspection of the facility where the dressing is bottled, when investigators found that eggs had been left off both the ingredient list and the allergen warning on affected cases.

Products Affected by This Recall

The recalled product is Jaime’s Spanish Village Jalapeno Ranch dressing, sold in 16 oz (45.5g) glass jars under UPC #199284564923. The following lot numbers are included in the recall: 69, 86, 108, 113, 116, and 121. Consumers can find the lot code stamped on the bottom of the jar, which is the fastest way to confirm whether a jar in their possession is part of the recall.

The dressing has been sold since April 3, 2026, at Central Market retail stores throughout Texas, as well as at local independent retailers in the Austin area.

What Went Wrong?

Undeclared allergens are among the most common triggers for food recalls, and eggs are one of the major allergens the FDA requires companies to clearly disclose on packaging. In this case, cases of the jalapeno ranch dressing left the facility without eggs listed as an ingredient or flagged in an allergen statement, meaning shoppers with egg allergies had no way of knowing the risk was present.

People with an egg allergy or severe sensitivity who consume the product without knowing it contains eggs could experience symptoms ranging from hives and digestive distress to swelling of the airway and anaphylaxis, a reaction that can become life-threatening without prompt treatment.

Who Should Be Concerned

So far, Jaime’s Foods ATX has not received any reports of illness or allergic reaction linked to the affected lots. The recall is limited to Texas, where the product was distributed through Central Market stores and independent retailers in and around Austin. Consumers outside that footprint are unlikely to have purchased the recalled jars, but anyone unsure of where their dressing was bought should still check the lot code.

What Consumers Need to Do Now

Consumers who purchased Jaime’s Spanish Village Jalapeno Ranch dressing should not eat it, regardless of whether they have an egg allergy, since safety agencies generally advise against consuming any recalled allergen-mislabeled product. The jar can be returned to the original place of purchase for a full refund.

• Check the lot code on the bottom of the jar against the recalled numbers: 69, 86, 108, 113, 116, and 121.
• Stop using the product immediately if it matches.
• Return the jar to the store where it was purchased for a full refund.
• Contact the company with any questions about the recall.
