BBC • • general
Key Points:
- Taylor Farms is recalling around 20 fresh products containing jalapeno peppers, including dips and sandwiches, across 26 US states due to a salmonella outbreak linked to a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico.
- The recall affects products sold at major retailers such as Walmart, Target, and Whole Foods, and consumers are advised to discard recalled items and seek refunds.
- The salmonella recall follows a previous Taylor Farms recall involving iceberg lettuce linked to a large cyclospora outbreak that has sickened over 22,000 people and caused two deaths.
- Coast Citrus Distributors, which supplied the jalapenos, also recalled its fresh jalapenos amid the salmonella concerns, prompting Taylor Farms to switch to alternative suppliers.
- Salmonella infection symptoms typically appear within 12 to 72 hours and include diarrhea, fever, and stomach pain, according to the US Food and Drug Administration.
