Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Jalapeños Sickens 345 Across 27 States; Taylor Farms Recalls Dips, Salsas Sold at Major Grocers

H-E-B shoppers in Texas: the alert also covers the H-E-B Shake Rattle Bowl Southwest Chicken, Higher Harvest Chicken & Beef Chimichurri and Creamy Cilantro Chicken, Meal Simple Pork Carnitas Bowl, and Chicken & Rice with Cilantro Jalapeño Sauce.

Recalled prepared meals in the USDA alert include: Deli Kitchen Chipotle Cheddar Chicken Wrap and Cajun Chicken Mashed Potatoes (Kroger/Dillons); Marketside Southwest Style Salad with Chicken (Walmart); Taylor Farms Classic Beef Burrito, Chipotle Chicken Tortilla Wrap, and Chicken Verde Burrito (Hannaford); Taylor Farms Chicken Enchilada (Kroger); Beef Barbacoa, Chile Lime Rice Chicken, and Pork Chile Verde bowls (Albertsons, Randalls, Tom Thumb); RaceTrac Southwest Style Salad; and Wawa Spicy Chipotle Chicken Wrap. Check "Best If Used By" dates through mid-August.

The FDA's Taylor Farms recall includes salsas, dips, and pico de gallo from Whole Foods (Salsa Fresca, Salsa Verde, Salsa Roja, multiple pico de gallo and mango salsa varieties); guacamole, pico de gallo, taco dip, and mango pico from Target; Spicy Jarlsberg and Pimento Cheese dips and a Spicy Roast Beef Sandwich from Kroger; hot and mild pico de gallo from Walmart (Freshness Guaranteed); diced jalapeños, a rice-and-bean burrito, and pico de gallo salsa from Hannaford/Stop & Shop; and a Fiesta Style shrimp salad from Trader Joe's.

The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service warned that additional products may still be identified as the recall progresses, and urged consumers to check back for updates, per FSIS.

The FSIS alert covers products from multiple companies, including Taylor Farms and Greencore/Bakkavor, and officials said no illnesses have been tied to the meat and poultry items, according to the USDA.

On August 8, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert for a range of prepared meat and poultry products—chicken wraps, burritos, and rice bowls—made with the recalled jalapeños, sold at grocers including Kroger, Walmart, H-E-B, Albertsons, and Wawa, per the USDA.

Taylor Farms said it is no longer sourcing from the implicated grower, is filling orders from alternative suppliers, and is not aware of any illnesses tied to its own products. Consumers who bought recalled items should discard them or return them for a refund.

The recalled Taylor Farms products carry "Best If Used By" dates up to and including August 16, and were distributed to retail centers across 26 states, according to the FDA.

On August 8, Taylor Fresh Foods—known as Taylor Farms—recalled dozens of finished products made with the recalled jalapeños, including salsas, dips, guacamole, pico de gallo, burritos, and sandwiches sold at Hannaford, Kroger, Stop & Shop, Target, Trader Joe's, Walmart, and Whole Foods, per the FDA.

The outbreak that began in restaurants has now widened to grocery shelves, marking a significant expansion of the recall even as the case count—345 illnesses across 27 states, with no deaths—remains unchanged, according to the CDC and FDA.

Chipotle Chief Corporate Affairs and Food Safety Officer Laurie Schalow said the company's "robust ingredient traceability system" allowed it to identify the affected jalapeños from a common lot, remove them from impacted locations, and replace them with product from different growers.

The FDA says it is still determining the full distribution of the recalled peppers, including whether any reached grocery stores, and may announce additional recalls. Consumers with recalled or unverified fresh jalapeños at home are advised to throw them out.

In a statement, Chipotle said it identified the jalapeños from a single grower in Sinaloa, Mexico as a common ingredient, proactively pulled them from affected restaurants and replaced them with product from other growers. The company said the recalled peppers are no longer in its restaurants.

Investigators identified 27 illness clusters at Chipotle and QDOBA locations across seven states, according to the CDC. Commonly reported ingredients included jalapeño peppers, red onion, cilantro and avocado.

Illnesses in the outbreak began on dates ranging from June 19 to July 20, according to the CDC. Officials note the true number of cases is likely higher, since many people recover without being tested and recent illnesses may not yet be reported.

Symptoms of Salmonella infection typically appear 12 to 72 hours after exposure and include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps, usually lasting four to seven days. Children under five, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems face higher risk of severe illness.

Two cases have shown resistance to certain antibiotics, though officials have not indicated this has complicated treatment for those patients.

Case counts by state show Colorado and Minnesota each with approximately 110 cases, followed by Illinois with 30 and Kansas with 13. Additional states include Alabama, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Twenty-seven illness clusters have been identified specifically at Chipotle and QDOBA locations across seven states. Commonly reported ingredients among sick patients included jalapeño peppers, red onion, cilantro, and avocado.

The CDC identified the outbreak strain as Salmonella Javiana, traced through genetic sequencing to jalapeño peppers from a common grower in Sinaloa, Mexico.

Federal health officials are investigating a multi-state Salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeño peppers, with 345 confirmed illnesses reported across 27 states as of August 5.
