H-E-B has issued a voluntary recall of more than 50 products containing jalapeños sold at Texas and Louisiana locations because of concerns about potential salmonella contamination.
The San Antonio-based grocer issued the recall on Aug. 14, noting that it stems from NatureBest Precut & Produce LLC's recall of products containing jalapeños supplied by Coast Citrus Distributors due to salmonella risk.
This recall follows Taylor Farms' recall on Aug. 9, over concerns that fresh jalapeños supplied by Coast Citrus Distributors from a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, identified as possibly contaminated with salmonella, were involved.
The affected products were distributed to H-E-B stores between July 3 and Aug. 5 and have been removed from store shelves. According
to the company, all products currently available at H-E-B are safe and not affected by the recall.
H-E-B states that consumers who have purchased the affected products should not consume them but discard the products or return them to the place of purchase.
Consumers with questions may contact NatureBest Precut & Produce LLC at (713) 278-0425, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT or email sales@naturebestprecut.com.
Here is a list of products impacted by the jalapeño recall, as well as other in-store items that included the recalled jalapeños.
