There have been over 6,000 confirmed cases, with over 10,000 unconfirmed cases. New Yorkers, including Hudson Valley residents, have been stricken with what's described as "explosive diarrhea."

Last month, the company issued a comprehensive, voluntary recall of all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico and temporarily suspended production at its facility there.

New Recall Involves 20 Items

Now, the company is voluntarily recalling roughly 20 prepared food items containing jalapeño peppers across 26 states, including New York, due to potential Salmonella contamination.

According to the FDA, Salmonella can cause "serious and sometimes fatal infections" in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Healthy people typically deal with fever, diarrhea, which may be bloody, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.

Taylor Farms said the recalled products were flagged after the fresh peppers were recalled by Coast Citrus Distributors.

Anyone with these products is told to throw them away "immediately and not consume them." Refunds will be available at the location of purchase.
