Taylor Farms, the agricultural giant whose lettuce has been linked to the deadly cyclospora outbreak , is recalling several prepared products made with jalapenos amid a salmonella outbreak linked to the peppers.
Taylor Farms said it voluntarily recalled the prepared foods after Coast Citrus Distributors, which had provided the company with its peppers, recalled its fresh jalapenos due to salmonella concerns.
"A grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, that supplies to Coast Citrus Distributors was identified as the potential source in this outbreak," the company said. "Taylor Fresh Foods is no longer sourcing products from this farmer and will be filling orders from alternative suppliers."
Salmonella can cause diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps within eight to 72 hours after exposure, according to the Mayo Clinic, which said most healthy people recover within days to a week without treatment.
