Taylor Farms expands recall to jalapeño products amid Salmonella outbreak tied to Coast Citrus

Taylor Farms is recalling jalapeño-containing foods sold across 26 states after jalapeños from Coast Citrus Distributors were linked to a multi-state Salmonella outbreak (345+ illnesses, 36 hospitalizations, no deaths). This recall comes as the broader Cyclospora outbreak tied to Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce continues to unfold, with Chipotle and Qdoba removing Coast Citrus jalapeños from menus; illnesses began June 19 and Coast Citrus is contacting affected customers as the FDA investigates.
