Taylor Farms has recalled several of its products containing jalapeño peppers due to a Salmonella outbreak. The affected foods include salsa, guacamole, dips, burritos, sandwiches, and other prepared items distributed across 26 U.S. states. At least 345 people have fallen ill, with 36 requiring hospitalization. The recall follows a Salmonella javiana outbreak traced back to fresh jalapeños sourced from Coast Citrus Distributors in Mexico.
Taylor Fresh Foods, the manufacturer, is no longer using jalapeños from this supplier. Consumers are advised to discard any recalled products immediately and check packaging for specific UPCs and dates. Proper sanitation and refrigeration can help prevent contamination. Symptoms of Salmonella infection include diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, nausea, and vomiting, which typically appear within hours or days after exposure and can last 4-7 days.
Severe cases are more common in young children, older adults, and those with compromised immune systems.
