Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Jalapeños | Albuquerque News

Salmonella outbreak tied to jalapeño peppers is spreading fast — over 430 cases and 57 hospitalizations across 32 states, with no deaths yet reported but numbers likely higher. The outbreak, possibly starting in June, links many sick individuals to Mexican-style restaurants, though peppers from Sinaloa, Mexico, distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors are the prime suspect. Major chains like Chipotle and Qdoba have changed suppliers or removed jalapeños entirely, while retailers including Whole Foods and HEB have recalled affected products. Meanwhile, the CDC tracks seven active cyclospora outbreaks with nearly 15,000 U.S. cases since May. Salmonella, which causes diarrhea, fever, and cramps within days, affects over a million Americans yearly — a stark reminder to stay vigilant about food sources.
