Taylor Farms recalls jalapeno products amid salmonella outbreak
The voluntary recall comes after U.S. health officials said businesses should check their inventory for the recalled jalapeno peppers and not sell or serve them.
Food manufacturer Taylor Fresh Foods has issued a voluntary recall of several prepared foods containing jalapenos due to potential salmonella contamination. The affected items include salsa, taco dip, pico de gallo, guacamole, and other similar products. The recall follows a multistate outbreak of salmonella infections linked to fresh jalapeños supplied by Coast Citrus Distributors, sourced from a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico.
Taylor Fresh Foods is no longer procuring products from the implicated farmer and will fill orders from alternative suppliers. The recalled items were distributed to retail distribution centers across 26 states, with best-by dates up to August 16, 2026. Consumers are advised to discard any recalled products immediately and seek refunds at the point of purchase.
The CDC and public health officials are investigating the outbreak and have identified 110 cases in Minnesota linked to Mexican-style, quick-service restaurants. Chipotle Mexican Grill and other fast-casual chains are also addressing the issue, as they have removed jalapenos from their restaurants following concerns about potential contamination.
