The recalled items expand the Coast Citrus Distributors jalapeno recall that has resulted in a multistate outbreak of salmonella infections, according to the FDA. The recalled jalapenos were grown in Mexico.
Officials said at least 345 illnesses have been reported in 27 states. No deaths have been reported, but dozens of people have been hospitalized.
The CDC has confirmed cases in the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Previously recalled products
The FDA and CDC said the peppers were grown in Sinaloa, Mexico, imported by Coast Citrus Distributors, and distributed to restaurants and food service companies, including Chipotle and QDOBA.
Through a traceback investigation, the FDA identified a common grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, that supplies Coast Citrus Distributors as the likely source of the outbreak.
As a result, the FDA recommended a recall. Coast Citrus Distributors has agreed to recall the remaining implicated product and is in the process of notifying affected customers.
Taylor Farms is also recalling products containing jalapenos sold at several stores, including Kroger and Trader Joe’s, in 26 states because they may be contaminated with salmonella.
What should consumers do?
If you recently ate jalapenos and are experiencing symptoms of salmonella, including diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps, contact your doctor right away.
Symptoms of salmonella infection typically appear six hours to six days after exposure and can last four to seven days.
Salmonella is a leading cause of foodborne illness in the United States and can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, according to the CDC.
