Reuters (via The Globe and Mail reprint) · back to the audit

U.S. health officials are investigating a salmonella outbreak linked to Mexican jalapeno peppers that has sickened 345 people in 27 states, prompting supplier Coast Citrus Distributors to recall peppers sent to restaurants including Chipotle Mexican Grill and QDOBA. The FDA said in a statement: "FDA does not consider there to be a current ongoing risk from these establishments to consumers in this outbreak." Chipotle switched its jalapeno supplier beginning July 20; QDOBA stopped serving jalapenos on July 28; Chipotle shares fell more than 8% on Tuesday. Coast Citrus, when contacted by Reuters, said it did not have an immediate comment. FDA said illnesses began between June 19 and July 20. On Wednesday, the agencies expanded the cyclosporiasis probe to 15 U.S. states.
