Salmonella Is Everywhere

The salmonella outbreak tied to jalapeños from Sinaloa, Mexico, distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors caused 431 illnesses and 57 hospitalizations across 32 states, leading to recalls of salsa, guacamole, salad dressing and removal of the peppers from major retailers and restaurants. A separate egg outbreak from Midwest Poultry Services resulted in 98 illnesses and a voluntary recall of 19 million eggs, while contaminated organic moringa powder prompted a granola recall and dog food from Oma’s Pride caused three canine illnesses.
