Food producer Taylor Farms is recalling around 20 products containing jalapeno peppers from retailers such as Walmart, Target, and Whole Foods across 26 US states after a salmonella outbreak was linked to its supplier, Coast Citrus Distributors. The recall comes after Taylor Farms' lettuce was recently linked to an outbreak of cyclospora that has affected thousands of people. No illnesses have been reported due to the jalapeno products, but the company is withdrawing them as a precautionary measure. The recall includes popular items such as pico de gallo salsa and guacamole.

Story summary
Taylor Farms, a leading producer of salad kits in the US, is recalling 20 products containing jalapeno peppers due to a salmonella outbreak. The recall affects 26 US states, but the company says it's not aware of any illnesses linked to its products. This recall comes on the heels of another issue with Taylor Farms' lettuce, which was recently linked to an outbreak of cyclospora that affected thousands of people. The source of the salmonella outbreak has been identified as a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, and Taylor Farms says it's stopped sourcing products from this farmer and is now using alternative suppliers. Consumers who have purchased recalled products are advised to discard them immediately and can receive refunds at the place of purchase.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
