Taylor Farms is recalling prepared salsa and guacamole over a risk of salmonella. A Sunday announcement on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website states that the agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local officials are looking into a salmonella outbreak in several states connected “to fresh jalapeños supplied by Coast Citrus Distributors.” A Mexico-based supplier for Coast Citrus Distributors has been identified as a possible origin for the outbreak, and Taylor Farms “is no longer sourcing products from this farmer and will be filling orders from alternative suppliers.” The recall covers “finished products” with jalapeno for “Possible Salmonella Contamination,” such as dips, salsa and guacamole, under the Trader Joe’s and Freshness Guaranteed brand names, the announcement states. States in the South, the Midwest and Northeast received the products.
