Summary
Taylor Fresh Foods, parent company of Taylor Farms, is voluntarily recalling certain products containing jalapenos due to a potential salmonella contamination. The recall comes after Coast Citrus Distributors recalled fresh jalapeños, which were supplied by a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico. The affected products, including guacamole, pico de gallo, and taco dip, were distributed to multiple states and sold at stores such as Kroger, Target, and Walmart. Taylor Fresh Foods is no longer sourcing products from the identified farmer and is filling orders from alternative suppliers.
