NEW YORK (AP) — Jalapeño peppers linked to a multistate salmonella outbreak have been traced back to a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, federal officials say. At least 345 people in 27 states have been reported getting sick from the salmonella strain linked to the jalapeños. No deaths have been reported, but officials say 36 people have been hospitalized. "Given their actions to remove product from their stores, neither of these establishments are considered a current ongoing risk to consumers in this outbreak," CDC officials said in a statement. The Food and Drug Administration said that of the 191 people interviewed in the outbreak investigation, 177 — or 93% — reported eating at a Mexican-style restaurant, including Chipotle Mexican Grill and Qdoba, from June 14 to July 14. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday that the chili peppers were moved into the U.S. by Coast Citrus Distributors. Chipotle Mexican Grill said Tuesday that it had removed jalapeños from some of its restaurants. Qdoba on Wednesday said the company had proactively removed jalapenos from all of its restaurants. Shares of Chipotle, based in Newport Beach, California, tumbled nearly 10% on Tuesday and have not recovered. By MIKE STOBBE, AP Medical Writer.
