CDC says US salmonella outbreak tied to jalapeno peppers from Mexico

Al Jazeera · back to the audit

At least 345 people across 27 US states have been reported getting sick from a salmonella strain linked to jalapeno peppers. The multistate salmonella outbreak has been traced back to a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, federal officials say. While no deaths have been recorded, United States officials say at least 36 people have been hospitalised. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Wednesday that the chilli peppers were moved into the US by Coast Citrus Distributors. The company has recalled the peppers and is in the process of notifying its customers, which include some prominent Mexican food restaurant chains like Chipotle and Qdoba. Chipotle Mexican Grill said Tuesday that it had removed jalapenos from some of its restaurants. Qdoba on Wednesday said the company had proactively removed jalapenos from all of its restaurants. Neither of these establishments are considered a current ongoing risk to consumers in this outbreak. 6 Aug 2026 — Al Jazeera Staff and AP.
