> Taylor Foods issues voluntary recall of jalapeño-containing products in Florida linked to Salmonella. Check dates Aug 7-16 for Walmart, Target items.

## Las claves

- The California-based supplier issued a voluntary recall of jalapeño products due to an ongoing Salmonella outbreak.
- This development follows recent menu changes at major chains like Chipotle and QDOBA, which removed jalapeños last week as part of broader safety measures.
- Consumers who purchased these items during the specified date range should treat them as potentially hazardous.

Florida residents are being urged to check their refrigerators immediately after Taylor Farms issued a voluntary recall of various food products containing jalapeños. The California-based supplier announced the recall following notifications that Coast Citrus Distributors was recalling the peppers due to an ongoing Salmonella outbreak. This development follows recent menu changes at major chains like Chipotle and QDOBA, which removed jalapeños last week as part of broader safety measures.

### Which Products Are Affected?

The recalled items include pre-made salsas and guacamole sold at major retailers across the state. Shoppers should look for products from Taylor Farms that were distributed to stores such as Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's. The recall specifically targets items with "Best If Used By" dates ranging from August 7 through August 16.

Florida is confirmed as one of the states affected by this recall. According to reports, the recalled jalapeño products were sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Wisconsin, and West Virginia. Consumers who purchased these items during the specified date range should treat them as potentially hazardous.

### Health Risks and Symptoms

The primary concern driving this recall is Salmonella, a type of bacteria that causes foodborne illness in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that infection can occur from eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water. Symptoms typically appear between six hours and six days after exposure.

Common symptoms include watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, headache, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. These illnesses usually last four to seven days. While there have been no confirmed reports of illness specifically linked to the products containing the affected jalapeños at this time, health officials advise caution, more details at [CBS News](https://cbsnews.com).

### Additional USDA Alert for Meat Products

In a related development on August 8, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued a separate public health alert regarding meat and poultry products containing jalapeños connected to the same outbreak. Although this is distinct from the FDA recall involving Taylor Farms, consumers are urged not to eat these items. The USDA is also asking retailers to stop serving or selling affected meat and poultry products, as this newspaper reported in [Florida Warns of Flesh](/noticia/florida-warns-of-flesh-eating-bacteria-vibrio-vulnificus-after-death).

### What Should Consumers Do?

If you have any of the recalled products in your fridge, the notice advises throwing them away immediately. Refunds are available at the location where the product was purchased. For further questions regarding the recall, consumers can contact Taylor Farms directly at 855-455-0098 between Monday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET.
