Taylor Farms expanded the H-E-B jalapeño product recall after 345 illnesses and 36 hospitalizations tied to Salmonella-contaminated jalapeños. The FDA told consumers, restaurants and retailers not to eat, sell or serve the recalled products as the recall widened across multiple stores.
Taylor Farms jalapeños
The affected jalapeños were grown in Sinaloa, Mexico, and Coast Citrus Distributors sent them to retailers in 27 states. Taylor Fresh Foods, which operates under the name Taylor Farms, said it is no longer sourcing products from this farmer and will fill orders from alternative suppliers.
Retailers including Hannaford, Kroger, Stop and Shop, Target, Trader Joe’s, Walmart and Whole Foods recalled products containing the contaminated jalapeños. The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service also issued a public health alert for meat and poultry products containing FDA-regulated jalapeños that may also be contaminated with Salmonella.
Chipotle and Qdoba
Earlier this month, 110 people became sick after eating jalapeños sold at Chipotle locations in Minnesota. As of now, the FDA does not consider there to be an ongoing risk from Chipotle and Qdoba because those locations removed the affected product, even as the broader recall continued to grow.
Illnesses in the outbreak began as early as June 19, 2026, and continued through July 20, 2026. The recall now leaves shoppers with one practical step: check for any product made with the affected jalapeños before eating it, selling it or serving it.
H-E-B products
The open question for shoppers is which specific H-E-B products, if any, were included in the jalapeño-related recall. Until those item names are matched against the recall notices, the safest move is to treat any product containing the affected jalapeños as part of the recall chain.
