KEY POINTS A salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeño peppers from Mexico has sickened 345 people in 27 states. And while you’re at it, start noticing food recalls in general. The FDA has active recalls on, among others:Close to 1.6 million dozens of eggs from Midwest Poultry Services because of the salmonella outbreak. WWL-TV in Louisiana has been asking why there are so many recalls right now, amassing a list that includes jalapeños, eggs, lettuce, chips and infant formula. Achyut Adhikari, a food safety specialist with the Louisiana State University AgCenter, told the station that not all recalls carry the same level of risk.
