Taylor Farms recalls jalapeño-based foods in 26 states amid ongoing salmonella outbreak

Taylor Fresh Foods is voluntarily recalling jalapeño-based products, including salsas, guacamole, and pimento cheese dips, across 26 states due to potential salmonella contamination. The outbreak is linked to jalapeños from a farm in Mexico, prompting Coast Citrus Distributors to recall their stock. This follows a previous Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce recall involving cyclosporiasis. Bloomberg reports that climate change and staffing shortages at the CDC and FDA are contributing factors to the increase in foodborne illness outbreaks.
