ATLANTA — Taylor Farms -- the massive food producer linked to the record cyclosporiasis outbreak -- is now pulling more than a dozen products with jalapeños from grocery stores across the United States.
It’s the latest recall as part of the salmonella outbreak that has made 345 people sick in 27 states. Restaurant chains Chipotle and QDOBA pulled jalapeños last week. The USDA said this weekend grocery stores are also removing meat products that include jalapeños.
The list of 20 recalled foods provided to ABC News includes dips, salsas and guacamole sold at grocery stores like Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and Kroger.
The FDA said the products were sold in more than two dozen states, including Georgia.

In a statement to ABC News, Walmart said, “Safety is a top priority. When notified of recalls, we move swiftly to remove the impacted products from our stores and implement a sales block at our registers and online. We are working closely with our supplier, and customers who have this should discontinue use.”
Taylor Farms said it received the jalapeños from Coast Citrus Distributors. The FDA had already traced that company to the salmonella outbreak across 27 states. The FDA said the jalapeños from Coast Citrus came from Sinaloa, Mexico.
“Taylor Fresh Foods is no longer sourcing products from this farmer and will be filling orders from alternative suppliers,” Taylor Farms said in a statement. “To date, Taylor Fresh Foods is not aware of any reported illnesses linked to its products containing jalapeños.”
