Taylor Farms Recall 2026: Full List of Salsa, Guacamole and Jalapeño Products Affected

Taylor Fresh Foods has recalled 20 prepared foods containing jalapeño peppers over possible Salmonella contamination. The products include salsa, guacamole, dips, pico de gallo, a burrito, a sandwich and a shrimp salad sold through Walmart, Target, Kroger, Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s, Hannaford and Stop & Shop.

The recall covers specific packages with “Best If Used By” dates from August 7 through August 16, 2026. Taylor Farms said it was unaware of any illnesses directly associated with its recalled finished products when the notice was issued.

Why the products were recalled

Taylor Farms announced the voluntary recall after Coast Citrus Distributors withdrew fresh jalapeños over possible contamination. Investigators identified a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, as the potential source of peppers connected to a wider Salmonella Javiana outbreak.

Taylor Farms has stopped sourcing jalapeños from that grower and said it would use alternative suppliers. Coast Citrus primarily supplied restaurants and wholesalers, but some peppers entered prepared retail foods before the problem was identified.

Illnesses and consumer guidance

The broader jalapeño outbreak had sickened 345 people across 27 states as of August 4, with 36 hospitalizations and no reported deaths. Those numbers cover the wider outbreak and are not confirmed illnesses from Taylor Farms products. Chipotle and Qdoba also received affected Coast Citrus jalapeños but removed them after being notified.

Consumers with a matching item should not eat or taste it. Return it to the retailer or discard it securely, then clean refrigerator shelves and surfaces that touched the package. Taylor Farms can be contacted at 855-455-0098.

Salmonella commonly causes diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps within 12 to 72 hours of exposure. Illness usually lasts four to seven days. Young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems face a higher risk of serious infection.

A separate lettuce investigation

This recall is separate from the Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce recall involving Cyclospora. A lettuce test initially reported as positive was later ruled a false positive, although officials said the correction did not change the wider epidemiological investigation.

Other recent recalls, including the 2026 egg recall linked to Salmonella illnesses, show why shoppers should check package codes and dates instead of assuming every product from a retailer or brand is affected.
