Whole Foods has recalled more products in connection with an ongoing salmonella outbreak believed to have originated from jalapeños.
The new recall, published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Aug. 12, comes after food distributor Taylor Farms initially recalled a variety of products – including some sold at Whole Foods – on Aug. 9 because of the outbreak.
As of Aug. 10, more than 340 people in 27 states have been sickened in a salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeños grown in Sinaloa, Mexico, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Thirty-six people have been hospitalized from their illnesses, but no one has died in the outbreak, according to the agency.
The affected jalapeños were sourced from Coast Citrus Distributors
and sent to restaurants in the United States, including Chipotle and Qdoba, which both pulled the ingredient from their stores nationwide, per the CDC.
Salmonella is a foodborne illness that can cause stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting, per the CDC. No illnesses have been reported from the recalled Whole Foods products.
Kristen Orsborn, a spokesperson for Whole Foods Market, said in a statement: "Nothing matters more to us than our customers' safety. We've pulled all recalled products from our shelves. Customers who purchased any of these products from us should throw them away and contact us for a refund."
