H-E-B Recalls 45-Plus Jalapeño Products Over Salmonella Risk

Summary
More than 45 H-E-B and NatureBest items were pulled Friday after jalapeño peppers supplied by Coast Citrus Distributors were flagged for possible salmonella contamination.
The affected products were distributed in Texas and Louisiana from July 3 to Aug. 5, and the peppers are tied to an FDA- and CDC-tracked multistate outbreak linked to jalapeños from Sinaloa, Mexico.
H-E-B said all recalled items have been removed from shelves, current store inventory is safe, and NatureBest has halted distribution while working with regulators and its supplier.
Customers who bought the products should not eat them and should discard or return them; salmonella can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, with higher risks for vulnerable people.
