Taylor Farms recalls jalapeño items at Walmart, Target over salmonella risk
The recalled product with jalapeño were distributed at national retailers, including Walmart and Target, in 26 states.
Taylor Farms is recalling several prepared products made with jalapeños due to a salmonella outbreak linked to the peppers. The affected items include pico de gallo salsa and guacamole, which were distributed to retailers like Walmart and Target across 26 states. The company is unsure if any illnesses have been reported as a result of consuming the recalled products.
The potential source of the contaminated peppers, which came from a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, through Coast Citrus Distributors, has been identified. Taylor Fresh Foods, which no longer sources from this farmer, will fill orders from alternative suppliers. Salmonella can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps within 8 to 72 hours after exposure, typically resolving without treatment in healthy individuals.
Consumers are advised to discard the recalled products and check the "best if used by" dates to ensure timely disposal. Retailers including Walmart, Target, Trader Joe's, Stop & Shop, and Whole Foods have also pulled affected items from their shelves and advised customers to return the products for a refund.
