Taylor Farms recalls jalapeño products at Walmart and Target over salmonella risk
CBS News • • business
Key Points:
- Taylor Farms is recalling several prepared products containing jalapeño, such as pico de gallo salsa and guacamole, due to a salmonella outbreak linked to the peppers supplied by Coast Citrus Distributors.
- The recalled products were distributed to national retailers including Walmart, Target, Hannaford, Kroger, Trader Joe's, and others across 26 states, with "best if used by" dates through August 16.
- The source of the salmonella outbreak was traced to a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, and Taylor Farms has stopped sourcing from this supplier, switching to alternative providers.
- Walmart and other retailers are actively removing affected products from shelves and advising customers to discontinue use if they have purchased the recalled items.
- Salmonella infection can cause symptoms like diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps within 8 to 72 hours, though most healthy individuals recover within days to a week without treatment.
