Summary
August 9 FDA notice added Taylor Farms jalapeño-containing foods sold through Hannaford, Kroger, Stop & Shop, Target, Trader Joe's, Walmart and Whole Foods, with best-by dates through Aug. 16.
Taylor Farms said it recalled the items because the jalapeños came from Coast Citrus Distributors, which has been tied to a multistate Salmonella Javiana outbreak and is no longer a supplier.
CDC and FDA said 345 people in 27 states had been infected as of Aug. 5, though Taylor Farms reported no illnesses linked specifically to its recalled products.
Consumers are advised not to eat the products and to discard them or seek refunds, extending a summer of produce recalls after Taylor Farms' July lettuce recall tied to Cyclospora.
