The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US Food and Drug Administration said on Wednesday that they are investigating a salmonella outbreak involving multiple states. The outbreak is linked to Jalapeno peppers produced in Mexico, which has caused 345 people to become ill in 27 states and triggered related product recalls. The US Food and Drug Administration said it has reported 36 hospitalized cases, no deaths, and investigations are still ongoing. The health department traced the outbreak back to Jalapeno peppers supplied by a co-grower in Sinaloa. These products are distributed in the US by Coast Citrus Distributors. The FDA said the company has agreed to recall the remaining products and is informing affected customers.
