Taylor Farms recalls its Mexico-sourced jalapeños, cuts ties with Sinaloa supplier after salmonella scare
The voluntary recall of jalapeños and prepared foods containing them — all sourced in Mexico — comes just weeks after the same company removed iceberg lettuce from the market due to cyclosporiasis.

Taylor Farms, a Salinas, California-based food company, has voluntarily recalled certain products containing jalapeño chiles due to potential salmonella contamination. The recall follows a recent decision by Coast Citrus Distributors, a San Diego-based supplier, to recall fresh jalapeños for the same reason. Taylor Farms, which sources much of its produce from Mexico, has severed ties with a Sinaloa-based supplier following the incident.
No reported illnesses have been linked to the recalled products, according to Taylor Farms. The affected foods, including guacamole, pico de gallo, taco salsa, burritos, and spicy sandwiches, have a "Best If Used By" date up to and including Aug. 16, 2026. The recall is a result of a salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeño peppers imported from Mexico, which has affected 345 people across 27 states, leading to 36 hospitalizations.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a warning on Aug. 5, and the FDA is investigating whether the recalled jalapeños reached grocery stores. Restaurants such as Chipotle Mexican Grill and Qdoba have also stopped serving the recalled jalapeños. Salmonella infections can cause diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, posing a greater risk to young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.
