Story summary

Taylor Farms, a major salad kit producer in the US, is recalling around 20 products containing jalapeno peppers due to a salmonella outbreak. The company, which made 40% of all salad kits sold in the US last year, said it was not aware of any illnesses linked to its products but decided to withdraw them from 26 US states as a precautionary measure. This recall comes after some of Taylor Farms' lettuce was recently linked to an outbreak of cyclospora, which has affected thousands of people. The source of the salmonella outbreak was identified as a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, and Taylor Farms said it would no longer source products from this farmer and would instead use alternative suppliers. The recalled products were sold at retailers such as Walmart, Target, and Whole Foods. Consumers are advised to discard any recalled products immediately and can obtain refunds at the location of purchase.
