Costco Jalapeños Recalled for Salmonella Risk
19 Aug
Summary
- Jalapeño peppers sold at Texas Costco stores are recalled.
- The recall is due to potential salmonella contamination risks.
- Consumers with recalled peppers should not eat them and seek refunds.
Jalapeño peppers sold at Costco locations in Dallas and Stafford, Texas, are being recalled over concerns of potential salmonella contamination. The recall was issued by Hardie's Fresh Foods, which has halted the production and distribution of the affected peppers. These jalapeños were sold in clear plastic bags labeled "Pepper Jalapeno."
Consumers who have bought the recalled jalapeños are urged to not consume them and to return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund. Information regarding symptoms of salmonella poisoning, such as diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, is also being provided. The FDA has not explicitly linked this recall to a larger, multi-state salmonella outbreak affecting other produce items across the country.
