Taylor Farms, the massive food producer linked to the record cyclosporiasis outbreak, is now pulling more than a dozen jalape\u00f1o products from grocery stores across the United States.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the latest recall as part of the\u00a0salmonella outbreak<\/a>\u00a0that has made 345 people sick in 27 states. Restaurant chains Chipotle and QDOBA pulled jalape\u00f1os last week. The USDA said this weekend grocery stores are also removing meat products that include jalape\u00f1os.<\/p>\n The list of 20 recalled foods provided to ABC News includes dips, salsas and guacamole sold at grocery stores like Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, Trader Joe\u2019s and Kroger.<\/p>\n The products were distributed across 26 states: AL, AR, FL, GA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, NE, NH, NY, OH, OK, SC, TN, TX, VT, WI, WV. They include a \u201cBest If Used By\u201d date up to and including August 16, 2026.<\/p>\n In a statement to ABC News, Walmart said, “Safety is a top priority. When notified of recalls, we move swiftly to remove the impacted products from our stores and implement a sales block at our registers and online. We are working closely with our supplier, and customers who have this should discontinue use.\u201d<\/p>\n This all underscores Taylor Farms\u2019 broad reach within the U.S. food system. (Last year, it said it made 40% of all\u00a0salad kits sold in the U.S. and accounted for 265 million servings of fresh vegetables to Americans per week.<\/p>\n Taylor Farms said it received the jalape\u00f1os\u00a0from Coast Citrus Distributors. The FDA had already traced that company to the salmonella outbreak across 27 states. The FDA said the jalape\u00f1os from Coast Citrus came from Sinaloa, Mexico.<\/p>\n “Taylor Fresh Foods is no longer sourcing products from this farmer and will be filling orders from alternative suppliers,\u201d Taylor Farms said in a statement.\u00a0\u201cTo date, Taylor Fresh Foods is not aware of any reported illnesses linked to its products containing jalape\u00f1os.\u201d<\/p>\n ABC News reached out to the Department of Health and Human Services for additional comment on these newly recalled foods with jalape\u00f1os\u00a0but has not heard back.<\/p>\n And at the same time, the scope of the separate cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to Taylor Farms is expanding. An update on the\u00a0FDA\u2019s website<\/a>\u00a0says potentially contaminated iceberg lettuce was also distributed to Subway locations in July. Subway did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
