Jalapeño Outbreak Hits 27 States | Fayetteville News

A major Salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeño peppers from Mexico has sickened 345 people across 27 states, with 36 hospitalized—no deaths reported. This is the second major produce-related scare this summer, and the peppers traced to Coast Citrus Distributors in Sinaloa were used by popular chains like Chipotle and QDOBA. Both companies swiftly pulled or stopped using the peppers after detection, citing strong supply chain controls. The FDA has issued a recall, and the distributor is working to remove all affected stock. Importantly, these peppers aren’t typically sold in grocery stores, so your local supermarket is likely safe. Minnesota and Colorado lead with 110 cases each, while North Carolina reports three, with more in nearby states. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
