Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Jalapeños | Augusta Georgia News

Salmonella outbreak tied to jalapeño peppers now hits 430+ cases across 32 states, with 57 hospitalized—no deaths yet. Likely started in June, linked to Mexican-style restaurants; onions, cilantro, and avocado may also be involved. CDC estimates true numbers are higher since many cases go unreported. Minnesota and Colorado lead with over half the cases. Peppers traced to Sinaloa, Mexico, distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors, who’ve recalled them. Restaurants and brands are pulling affected products like guac and salsa—another stark reminder that food safety affects thousands and businesses alike.
