Taylor Farms has issued a recall for multiple products containing jalapeño peppers due to potential salmonella contamination, amid an ongoing multistate outbreak. This recall follows a separate voluntary recall of iceberg lettuce by the company just weeks prior, which was linked to a cyclospora outbreak. The jalapeño recall was initiated after Coast Citrus Distributors recalled fresh jalapeños sourced from Sinaloa, Mexico, identified as a potential source in the salmonella outbreak. Taylor Farms stated it is no longer sourcing from the implicated farmer and is utilizing alternative suppliers. The affected products, including pico de gallo, guacamole, dips, and burritos, were distributed to retail distribution centers across 26 states and sold at major retailers such as Walmart, Target, Kroger, and Whole Foods. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service also issued a public health alert for meat and poultry products containing these potentially contaminated jalapeños. To date, Taylor Farms has not reported any illnesses linked to its recalled jalapeño-containing products. The company advises consumers to discard the recalled items or return them to the place of purchase for a refund. Separately, the earlier cyclospora outbreak linked to Taylor Farms' iceberg lettuce had sickened over 6,300 people as of August 5.
