Whole Foods Recalls some Jalapeño Products over Salmonella Risk
The retailer said 45 items were pulled after jalapeños from Coast Citrus Distributors were tied to a multistate outbreak, with no illnesses reported.
On Wednesday, Whole Foods Market announced a recall of dozens of products due to potential Salmonella contamination linked to jalapeños sourced from Coast Citrus Distributors.
Coast Citrus Distributors' jalapeños are linked to a recent multistate Salmonella outbreak; Food and Drug Administration officials previously urged Customers to avoid the distributor's fresh produce.
Recalled products were sold across Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wisconsin with best-by dates between Aug. 7 and Aug. 16.
Officials urged Customers not to consume Recalled products; those who purchased items should discard them or bring a valid receipt to any Whole Foods store for a full refund.
Salmonella infection typically causes fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain; in rare cases, the organism reaches the bloodstream, causing serious complications like endocarditis and arthritis in Healthy persons.
