Taylor Fresh Foods, the parent company of Taylor Farms, is voluntarily recalling some products that include jalapeños because of worries about a possible salmonella contamination. The company said that it was pulling some products that include jalapeños, including salsas, guacamole, dips, burritos, and pico de gallo, from store shelves after learning that Coast Citrus Distributors was voluntarily recalling fresh jalapeños due to a potential salmonella contamination.
Investigation and Response
The Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are working with state and local partners to investigate illnesses in a multistate outbreak of salmonella infections linked to fresh jalapeños supplied by Coast Citrus Distributors. A grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, a supplier to Coast Citrus Distributors, was identified as the potential source in the outbreak.
Taylor Fresh Foods said that it is no longer sourcing products from the farmer and will be filling orders from alternative suppliers. The company is currently not aware of any reported illnesses linked to its products containing jalapeños.
The list of recalled products were distributed by Taylor Farms in multiple states with a “Best If Used By” date up to and including Aug. 16, 2026. The products were sold at stores including Kroger, Stop & Shop, Target, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and Walmart.
At least 345 people in 27 states have been sickened, with 36 hospitalizations reported, the CDC said last week. Minnesota and Colorado account for the vast majority of cases, with 110 cases each. Illinois has reported 30 cases and Kansas 13. The remaining states are Alabama, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Consumers who have any recalled product are advised to discard it immediately and not eat it. Refunds are available at the location of purchase.
