Taylor Farms recalls salsa and guacamole from Walmart, Kroger over salmonella risk

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the FDA said earlier this week they were investigating the salmonella outbreak, which had sickened 345 people across 27 states and led to 36 hospitalizations.

The U.S. investigation into the salmonella outbreak identified restaurants including Chipotle Mexican Grill CMG.N and Qdoba, a Mexican-style restaurant chain, as having received jalapeños imported by Coast Citrus Distributors.

Both restaurants stopped using them, while Coast Citrus recalled the remaining product and notified customers.

Salmonella infections can cause diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps and can be particularly severe in young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.

Taylor Farms said it was unaware of any reported illnesses linked to the voluntarily recalled items.
