WinCo Recalls Salsa Bean Dip Trays Tied to a Wider Peperoncini Recall
WinCo Foods has recalled certain Salsa Bean Dip Trays after recalled G.L. Mezzetta peperoncini may have been used as an ingredient. The affected deli trays were sold at WinCo Foods stores in eight Western states: Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.
The WinCo company announcement is dated Oct. 1, 2026, and the recall notice was published by the FDA on Oct. 2. Shoppers who purchased one of the specified trays can check the product name, size, and “Best If Used By” date against the official recall information.
Which WinCo Salsa Bean Dip Trays Are Affected?
The recall covers two WinCo deli products. The first is the WinCo Foods Salsa Bean Dip Tray Express, sold in a 54-ounce size. Its UPC is listed as 2-67173-#####.
The second is the WinCo Foods Salsa Bean Dip Tray, 16 Inch Catering Tray, which was available by special order only. That tray is 104 ounces and has UPC 2-67240-#####.
The FDA-posted notice masks the final digits of both UPCs, so shoppers should use the identifiers exactly as shown rather than trying to reconstruct the missing numbers.
Where Were the Trays Sold?
The affected Salsa Bean Dip Trays were sold at WinCo Foods retail stores in Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. Those are the eight states identified in the WinCo recall information.
The announcement names only the two Salsa Bean Dip Tray formats included in the recall.
How to Identify the Affected Trays
In addition to checking the product name and size, customers should look at the date printed on the tray.
Potentially affected trays carry “Best If Used By” dates from Aug. 14, 2026, through Sept. 25, 2026. The WinCo notice does not provide a separate lot code for the trays.
That date range applies to the WinCo trays and should not be confused with the lot number associated with the separate Mezzetta peperoncini recall.

Why WinCo Recalled the Trays
WinCo initiated the recall because recalled peperoncini supplied by G.L. Mezzetta may have been used as an ingredient in the Salsa Bean Dip Trays.
WinCo said Mezzetta notified the company that a single lot of Golden Greek Peperoncini had been recalled because of potential pest inclusion. Peperoncini are an ingredient in the bean dip trays, and the recalled peppers may have been used in trays carrying the Aug. 14 through Sept. 25 “Best If Used By” dates.
That distinction is important: the recall information does not say that a pest was found in a WinCo Salsa Bean Dip Tray, nor does it establish that every affected tray contained recalled peperoncini.
How the WinCo Recall Connects to Mezzetta
The WinCo action follows a limited voluntary recall announced by G.L. Mezzetta Inc. on Sept. 26, 2026.
The Mezzetta product is Mezzetta GOLDEN GREEK PEPERONCINI MEDIUM HEAT, 32 oz., identified by SKU 10106328 and Lot 720106. The FDA-posted Mezzetta notice describes the reason as a product that may contain a foreign object, such as a pest contaminant, in the jar.
Lot 720106 belongs to the Mezzetta peperoncini recall; it is not a WinCo Salsa Bean Dip Tray lot number.
Mezzetta’s announcement says the company used its distribution records to identify customers that received the affected lot and was working with those customers to isolate and remove it from sale. The announcement does not publicly identify individual states or provide a retail distribution list for the recalled peperoncini.
Mezzetta said its original recall covers only the 32-ounce Golden Greek Peperoncini Medium Heat product with SKU 10106328 and Lot 720106. No other Mezzetta products or lots are included.

What WinCo Says About the Bean Dip Trays
WinCo Foods addressed the distinction between the supplier recall and its own finished deli trays in its FDA-posted company announcement.
“WinCo Foods did not have or use any product with evidence of pests included in the jar, nor has the company received any complaints regarding potential pests or illness related to the bean dip trays to date.”
WinCo also said no pests were observed during production of the bean dip trays. The company’s recall was initiated after learning that recalled Mezzetta peperoncini may have been used as an ingredient.
What Customers Should Know
Consumers with questions or concerns are directed to the WinCo Foods Customer Service Desk at 1-800-824-1706. The official notice also points customers to WinCo’s online customer-service contact form.
WinCo’s notice says the deli items have a short shelf life and are not expected to remain in consumers’ homes. It also says affected product was removed from stores.
The announcement does not explicitly provide a refund, return, exchange, or disposal instruction, so those actions are not listed as official directions in the recall notice.
For shoppers in Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington, the practical way to check a purchase is to compare the WinCo product name, tray size and “Best If Used By” date with the official recall information.
