FDA Expands Jalapeño Recall Across Major Retailers in 26 States

The FDA has broadened a recall of jalapeño-containing foods distributed to Hannaford, Kroger, Stop & Shop, Target, Trader Joe’s, Walmart, Whole Foods, and other retailers in 26 states due to a Salmonella Javiana outbreak linked to Coast Citrus jalapeños; Taylor Farms issued its own jalapeño-related recall after sourcing from Coast Citrus, and no illnesses tied to the Taylor Farms jalapeño products have been reported yet. The recalled items span dips, salsas, pico de gallo, burritos, and various store-brand products. Consumers who purchased affected items should discard them and request refunds from retailers or contact Taylor Farms for questions; the FDA and CDC continue investigating the multi-state outbreak.
