Taylor Fresh Foods is recalling finished products containing jalapeños following a voluntary recall of fresh peppers by supplier Coast Citrus Distributors over potential Salmonella contamination. The recall was announced August 9, 2026.
The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners, are investigating a multistate Salmonella outbreak linked to fresh jalapeños supplied by Coast Citrus Distributors. A grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, that supplies to Coast Citrus Distributors was identified as the potential source in the outbreak.
The recalled products were distributed to retail distribution centers in 26 states, with a "Best If Used By" date up to and including August 16, 2026. Taylor Fresh Foods is no longer sourcing products from the Mexican grower and will fill orders from alternative suppliers. To date, the company is not aware of any reported illnesses linked to its products containing jalapeños.
Salmonella can cause serious infections, particularly in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with the organism often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, infection can result in more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.
Consumers who have any recalled product should discard it immediately. Refunds are available at the location of purchase. Consumers with questions may contact Taylor Fresh Foods' customer care team at 855-455-0098 Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm PT.
