Taylor Farms can’t catch a break this summer—and neither can we. Hot on the heels of the ongoing Cyclospora outbreak that’s impacted leafy greens, another recall is affecting numerous products containing jalapeños, also sold by Taylor Fresh Foods (which operates under the name Taylor Farms)
Earlier this month, it was reported that 110 people became sick after consuming jalapeños sold at Chipotle locations in Minnesota. As a result, Qdoba restaurants pulled the product from their stores out of an abundance of caution. As of now, the FDA does not consider there to be an ongoing risk from these establishments due to their actions to remove the affected product from their stores
According to government agencies, the affected jalapeños, which were grown in Sinaloa, Mexico, were contaminated withSalmonella and distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors to retailers in 27 states. Coast Citrus Distributors is a supplier of Taylor Farms
What Products Are Being Recalled?
Now, the recall has expanded after 345 confirmed illnesses and 36 hospitalizations. Numerous products containing the contaminated jalapeños have been recalled and were distributed to retailers including Hannaford, Kroger, Stop and Shop, Target, Trader Joe’s, Walmart, and Whole Foods. The affected product list is vast and includes the following:

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) also issued a public health alert for meat and poultry products containing FDA-regulated jalapeños that may also be contaminated with Salmonella
Why Are They Being Recalled?
The recall was initiated following an outbreak investigation into a multistate outbreak of food contaminated with Salmonella, which can cause salmonellosis. The foodborne illness can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever anywhere from six hours to six days after eating contaminated food
Illnesses began as early as June 19, 2026, and have continued through July 20, 2026. Taylor Fresh Foods is no longer sourcing products from this farmer and will be filling orders from alternative suppliers
What Should I Do If I Have The Affected Products?
The FDA advises consumers, restaurants, and retailers not to eat, sell, or serve the recalled products. You should contact your health care provider immediately if you think you may have developed symptoms consistent with a Salmonellainfection after eating a dish with jalapeños. If you froze recalled jalapeños or are unsure of the company you received them from, you should discard them. Additionally, you should carefully clean and sanitize any surfaces or containers that the product touched to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
