Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Jalapeños | Chicago News

A major salmonella outbreak linked to fresh jalapeño peppers from Mexico is causing widespread recalls of over 18 ready-to-eat meat and poultry products. Though the contaminated peppers were distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors and found in dishes like wraps and salads, no direct illnesses have been tied to the meat products themselves—most cases stem from eating at Mexican-style restaurants. The FDA confirms 345 sickened, 36 hospitalized, with symptoms including diarrhea and fever. Regulators are still investigating, but reassure the public that restaurant dining remains safe thanks to distributor actions halting further shipments.
