Taylor Farms, the alleged source of the recent ‘diarrhea lettuce,’ has issued another recall for products containing jalapeños, including salsa and guacamole.
Taylor Farms has recalled fresh jalapeños, salsas, guacamole and other products containing jalapeños that may be contaminated with salmonella.
Thousands of laboratory-confirmed cases were reported in the recent cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to the company, with more than 175 hospitalizations.
“To date, Taylor Fresh Foods is not aware of any reported illnesses linked to its products containing jalapeños,” the release about the new recall states.
Shortly thereafter, the FDA announced that its laboratory findings linking Taylor Farms to the outbreak were a “false positive.”
