Mexican jalapenos tied to Salmonella outbreak in 27 US states
Health officials say 345 people in 27 states have been sickened, and 36 have been hospitalized, after eating peppers traced to one grower.
- On Wednesday, Qdoba removed jalapeños from all locations, following Chipotle's lead as a salmonella outbreak sickened at least 345 people across 27 states. The Mexican-style restaurant chain is cooperating with public health authorities.
- Investigators identified jalapeños grown in Sinaloa, Mexico, and distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors as the likely source of Salmonella Javiana. The Food and Drug Administration urged businesses to discard peppers from this supplier.
- At least 36 hospitalizations have been reported, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Patients typically experience fever and stomach cramps within 72 hours of exposure, according to the Mayo Clinic.
- The FDA issued a safety advisory urging restaurants to "carefully clean and sanitize any surfaces or containers that the product touched." Both Qdoba and Chipotle replaced affected jalapeños with product from different growers.
- Because both chains removed affected products, the CDC said there is no "current ongoing risk from these establishments to consumers." Officials are investigating whether recalled peppers reached grocery stores.
