Taylor Farms, the agricultural giant whose lettuce has been linked to the deadly cyclospora outbreak, is recalling several prepared products made with jalapeño amid a salmonella outbreak linked to the peppers.

The products, which include pico de gallo salsa and guacamole, were distributed to national retailers, including Walmart and Target, in 26 states, the company said in a statement on Sunday. Taylor Farms said it isn't aware of any reported illnesses linked to the products.

Taylor Farms said it voluntarily recalled the prepared foods after Coast Citrus Distributors, which had provided the company with its peppers, recalled its fresh jalapeño due to salmonella concerns.

Ex exec indicted for stealing millions, this, the lettuce, this company’s got some serious freakin issues.

It seems Taylor has been less than swift with its quality lately.

I’m the non-jalapeno-er in my family, but I am concerned for my expecting daughter.

[Tommy Revolts]

Keep importing produce from Mexico.

[rktman]

I thought this was the same outfit we just read about...🤔

“it isn’t aware of any reported illnesses linked to the products”

Explosive Diarrhea is something new?
But that’s how Jalpenos and Guacamole always affected my system.

Must have been Tainted products affecting my ‘Taint.

Taylor Farms better look for an employee that is betraying them and poisoning their products.

I’m waiting for Taylor Farms to lay the blame for this bioterrorism on their alleged criminal executive’s fraud. There’s no way the produce contamination was associated with Iranian terrorists.

There is an easy way to avoid getting sick from eating raw fruits and vegetables... Stop eating raw fruits and vegetables.

Processed fruits and veggies are fine... Raw stuff prepared by hand is a very good way to become ill. The food may be contaminated and the hands may be unwashed.

I'm truly amazed at people who eat at gut wagons... Like... Where is the water coming from? Where is the toilet? Are those people actually washing their hands?

Only by a false positive that the FDA recently acknowledged.

The word "linked" is pure sensational weasel wording.

[Dacula]

Is this company related to the singer Taylor Swift? I get the same symptoms when I am forced to hear her sounds.

[Sirius Lee]

I love pickled jalapeños. I wonder if the pickling kills it off?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Sure seems to me that all these imported poison food stuffs are coming from failed, America-hating Refugee factories.

[dforest]

I do hope Taylor Farms is shut down soon as they seem unable to produce products that are without bacteria or parasites.

[DCPatriot]

Taylor Farms better look for an employee that is betraying them and poisoning their products.

Disgruntled employee? Don't think so.

More likely corporate terrorism. How difficult would it be to spray Taylor Farms/Mexico with a "Crop Duster" plane to contaminate the crop in an attempt to destroy Taylor Farms revenue streams?

[Flaming Conservative]

What in the world! Are they using raw sewage for fertilizer, or what??
