Jalapeño products sold at Walmart, Target, Whole Foods recalled over salmonella risk
Aug 10, 2026
Taylor Fresh Foods, parent company of Taylor Farms, is voluntarily recalling some products that include jalapeños because of worries about a possible salmonella contamination.
The company said that it was pulling some products that include jalapeños, including salsas, guacamole, dips, burritos
and pico de gallo, from stores shelves after learning that Coast Citrus Distributors was voluntarily recalling fresh jalapeños due to a potential salmonella contamination.
Taylor Fresh Foods said that the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were working with state and local partners to investigate illnesses in a multistate outbreak of salmonella infections linked to fresh jalapeños supplied by Coast Citrus Distributors. The company said that a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, a supplier to Coast Citrus Distributors, was identified as the potential source in the outbreak.
