A public health alert has been issued by the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service regarding meat and poultry products that contain jalapeños potentially contaminated with Salmonella. This alert follows notification from the FDA that several establishments received recalled jalapeños linked to a multistate Salmonella outbreak. Although no illnesses have been confirmed from the affected products, the FDA advises consumers and food service providers to avoid consuming or distributing the recalled jalapeños, which were imported from Sinaloa, Mexico. Chipotle has taken precautionary measures by removing these jalapeños from its restaurants. Symptoms of Salmonella infection include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, which can be severe in vulnerable populations.
