Story summary

A multi-state salmonella outbreak in the US has sickened 345 people across 27 states, with 36 hospitalizations reported but no deaths. The outbreak is linked to jalapeno peppers from Mexico, which were supplied by a common grower in Sinaloa and distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors. The company has agreed to recall the remaining affected products, and has notified customers who received them. Restaurants such as Chipotle Mexican Grill and Qdoba, which serve Mexican-style food, received these jalapenos and have taken steps to stop serving them: Chipotle switched suppliers on July 20 and Qdoba stopped using jalapenos on July 28. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are investigating the outbreak, which has prompted a recall of affected products.
