In a press release from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration on Sunday, the recalled products have been distributed to 26 states and have a “Best If Used By” date up to and including August 16, 2026.

According to the FDA, Taylor Fresh Foods is not aware of any reported illnesses linked to its jalapeño-containing products.

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with the organism may experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.

Another instance of potentially contaminated jalapeños has been reported by the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in which a strain of Salmonella Javiana has been linked to jalapeño peppers from Sinaloa, Mexico.

The peppers were distributed to Mexican-style restaurants in the U.S., most notably Chipotle and QDOBA. Data gathered by the CDC show that a total of 345 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella have been reported across 27 states. Of the people interviewed by the CDC, 93% reported eating at a Mexican-style restaurant before their illness, including Chipotle Mexican Grill and QDOBA, with meal dates ranging from June 14 to July 14, 2026.

In response, the FDA recommended that the pepper supplier, Coast Citrus Distributors, conduct a recall and remove the product from the market.

Taylor Fresh Farms used the same supplier, stating that it will no longer use products from this farmer and will instead fill orders from alternative suppliers.
