Illnesses began between June 19 and July 20, 2026, and 93% of 191 people interviewed had eaten at Mexican-style restaurants. The FDA traced the peppers to Coast Citrus Distributors, which has recalled them. Taylor Farms has also recalled 20 grocery products containing jalapeños, sold at Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Kroger, with use-by dates up to August 16, 2026. The USDA's FSIS has issued a public health alert for meat and poultry products containing the recalled peppers, with at least 18 ready-to-eat items such as wraps and salads recalled. Chipotle and QDOBA have stopped using the affected jalapeños. Federal officials say no illnesses have been confirmed from the FSIS-regulated products.
