Taylor Farms Recalls 20 Jalapeño Products From Grocery Stores

Taylor Farms is pulling more than a dozen products containing jalapeños from grocery stores nationwide, the latest recall in a salmonella outbreak that has sickened 345 people in 27 states.

The list of 20 recalled foods includes dips, salsas and guacamole sold at retailers including Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Kroger. The Food and Drug Administration released the list Sunday.

Among the items are diced jalapeños and rice and bean burritos from Hannaford, along with spicy pimento cheese dip, spicy Jarlsberg dip and spicy roast beef sandwiches from Kroger. Pico de gallo salsa sold at Stop and Shop and Hannaford was also recalled.

Recalled Target products include authentic guacamole, spicy guacamole, pico de gallo, mango pico de gallo and taco dip. Walmart's list covers mild and hot pico de gallo, while Trader Joe's is pulling fiesta style salad shrimp. Whole Foods items include salsa fresca medium, mild and spicy pico de gallo, medium salsa roja and mild pineapple mango salsa.

The products carried the brand names Taylor Farms, Trader Joe's, Private Selection and Freshness Guaranteed. Some were unbranded. They were distributed in 26 states, from Maine to Texas, and carry "best if used by" dates up to and including August 16, 2026.

Restaurant chains Chipotle and QDOBA pulled jalapeños last week, and the Agriculture Department said over the weekend that grocery stores were also removing meat products containing the peppers.

Taylor Farms said it received the jalapeños from Coast Citrus Distributors, a company the FDA had already traced to the outbreak. The FDA said those jalapeños came from Sinaloa, Mexico.

"Taylor Fresh Foods is no longer sourcing products from this farmer and will be filling orders from alternative suppliers," the company said, adding that it is "not aware of any reported illnesses linked to its products containing jalapenos."

Walmart told ABC News that "safety is a top priority" and that it blocks sales of recalled items at registers and online, urging customers to discontinue use.

Taylor Farms says it produced 40% of all salad kits sold in the United States last year. The company is also linked to a separate cyclosporiasis outbreak; the FDA now says potentially contaminated iceberg lettuce also went to Subway locations in July. The Consumer Federation of America criticized Taylor Farms for not disclosing more brands and retailers in its original recall notice.
