Overview
- Federal health agencies say a multistate Salmonella Javiana outbreak has sickened 345 people in 27 states and hospitalized 36, according to CDC and FDA case counts.
- Investigators traced the implicated fresh jalapeños to a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico that supplied Coast Citrus Distributors, and Coast Citrus voluntarily recalled the fresh peppers.
- On Sunday Taylor Fresh Foods voluntarily recalled about 20 finished products that used those jalapeños, including salsas, guacamoles, dips and ready meals sold at major retailers with 'Best If Used By' dates through Aug. 16, 2026.
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s FSIS issued a public-health alert for meat and poultry items that contain the recalled jalapeños and warned that additional downstream products could be identified as tracebacks continue.
- Consumers should discard recalled items or seek refunds and watch for further recall notices, while Taylor Fresh Foods says it has stopped sourcing from the identified grower and is switching suppliers.
