Taylor Farms, the agricultural giant whose lettuce has been linked to the deadly cyclospora outbreak, is recalling several prepared products made with jalapenos amid a salmonella outbreak linked to the peppers.
The products, which include pico de gallo salsa and guacamole, were distributed to national retailers, including Walmart and Target, in 26 states, the company said in a statement on Sunday. Taylor Farms said it isn’t aware of any reported illnesses linked to the products.
Taylor Farms said it voluntarily recalled the prepared foods after Coast Citrus Distributors, which had provided the company with its peppers, recalled its fresh jalapenos due to salmonella concerns.
“A grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, that supplies to Coast Citrus Distributors was identified as the potential source in this outbreak,” the company said. “Taylor Fresh Foods is no longer sourcing products from this farmer and will be filling orders from alternative suppliers.”
Salmonella can cause diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps within eight to 72 hours after exposure, according to the Mayo Clinic, which said most healthy people recover within days to a week without treatment.
The products have a “best if used by” date through Aug. 16, it added. Below is a list of the recalled items by retailer:
