TAYLOR FRESH FOODS RECALLS MULTIPLE SALSAS, DIPS, AND PREPARED FOODS OVER SALMONELLA CONCERNS

Taylor Fresh Foods has issued a sweeping voluntary recall for various salsas, dips, guacamole, and ready-to-eat items across 26 states following a multistate salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeño peppers.

The affected products were sold at major nationwide retailers, including Target, Trader Joe’s, Walmart, Whole Foods, Kroger, Hannaford, and Stop & Shop.

Outbreak Background and Source

Federal investigators point to Mexico-based supplier Coast Citrus Distributors—specifically a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico—as the potential source of the contaminated jalapeños. Taylor Fresh Foods announced it is no longer sourcing products from this grower and has transitioned to alternative suppliers.

While the broader salmonella outbreak has impacted at least 345 people across 27 states, resulting in severe cases and hospitalizations, Taylor Fresh Foods reported that no illnesses have been directly tied to its specific products so far.

What Consumers Should Do

  • Check Products: Review your refrigerator for items containing jalapeños with “Best if Used By” dates up to and including August 16, 2026.

  • Do Not Consume: Discard any recalled items immediately.

  • Obtain Refunds: Return affected products to the original place of purchase for a full refund.

  • Customer Support: For questions or concerns, contact Taylor Fresh Foods customer care at 855-455-0098, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PT.

Salmonella Symptoms to Watch For

According to the CDC, symptoms of salmonella infection typically begin within six hours to six days of ingestion and include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. While most individuals recover within a week without treatment, infections can be severe or fatal for young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
