HuffPost (Reuters wire) · back to the audit

Aug 5 (Reuters) - U.S. health officials are investigating a Salmonella outbreak linked to Mexican jalapeno peppers that has sickened 345 people in 27 states. The CDC and FDA said 36 hospitalizations and no deaths have been reported, while the investigation remains ongoing. FDA said illnesses began between June 19 and July 20. Chipotle shares fell more than 8% on Tuesday. Chipotle has since switched jalapeno suppliers for its restaurants beginning July 20. QDOBA stopped using jalapenos on July 28 and is no longer serving them. On Wednesday, the agencies expanded the cyclosporiasis probe to 15 U.S. states. FDA: "FDA does not consider there to be a current ongoing risk from these establishments to consumers in this outbreak." Aug 6, 2026, 04:44 AM EDT.
