Taylor Farms recalls salsa and guacamole over salmonella risk
Taylor Farms said the voluntary recall follows a Coast Citrus action as health officials investigate an outbreak that sickened 345 people in 27 states.
- On Sunday, Taylor Farms issued a voluntary recall for prepared food items including salsas and guacamole containing jalapeños, citing potential salmonella contamination after Coast Citrus Distributors recalled the peppers.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration are investigating a salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeños imported from Mexico that has sickened 345 people across 27 states and caused 36 hospitalizations.
- Restaurant chains including Chipotle Mexican Grill and Qdoba received the affected peppers and stopped using them, while Coast Citrus recalled remaining product and notified customers.
- Taylor Farms is "no longer" sourcing from a farmer in Sinaloa, Mexico, identified as the potential source, and is seeking alternative suppliers to ensure safety.
