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. The company has recalled the peppers and is notifying its customers, which include some prominent Mexican food restaurant chains, officials said. Chipotle Mexican Grill said Tuesday that it had removed jalapeños from some of its restaurants.
