Whole Foods and Taylor Farms issue additional voluntary recalls of prepared foods made with jalapeño peppers after salmonella risk is linked to products using jalapeños from a specific farm. Multiple outlets report the recalls involve items such as dips, salsas and guacamole.
The recalls expand beyond a single store brand. CBS News and other reports say jalapeño-based products were distributed across the United States in about 26 states and sold through major national retailers, including Walmart, Target, Kroger and Whole Foods, among others. Forbes and Ars Technica also link the underlying concern to a farm Taylor Farms sources jalapeños from, describing an outbreak investigation associated with that supplier.
While outlets largely align on the ingredient and distribution details, they differ in emphasis: some focus on Whole Foods’ additional recall of dozens of items, while others detail Taylor Farms’ company-wide recall. Several reports describe the specific food categories included, which range from salsa and guacamole to pimento cheese dips, with some noting the process as an ongoing set of recalls as concerns develop.
