MI Products Made With Jalapeno Peppers Recalled Due To Salmonella Risk

Taylor Fresh Foods is recalling some products connected to a salmonella outbreak that has sickened people in over two dozen states, including up to four people in Michigan.

The recall includes branded and unbranded products with a "best if used by" date up to and including Aug. 16.

Those products in Michigan include the 10oz Spicy Jarlsberg Dip ("best if used by" Aug. 7-15) and the 10oz Spicy Pimento Cheese Dip ("best if used by" Aug. 7-15). Both products were sold at Kroger.

As of Sunday, there were no illnesses linked to Taylor Fresh Foods products containing jalapeños, according to the FDA.

Officials warned consumers to not eat any of the recalled products and either throw them away or return them to the store where they were purchased for a refund.

A Wider Outbreak

The jalapeños recall is connected to Coast Citrus Distributors and a common grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, officials said.

The grower supplied to Coast Citrus and was identified as the outbreak’s likely source. Coast Citrus agreed to recall remaining implicated product and is no longer importing from the grower, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The jalapeños, which have been linked to the cross-country Salmonella Javiana outbreak, went to distributors, restaurants and food service companies across the U.S., with 345 people from 27 states infected with the outbreak strain as of Wednesday, according to federal officials.

At that time, there had been 36 hospitalizations but no deaths, with illness onset dates ranging from June 19, 2026, to July 20, 2026.

Of 191 people interviewed, 177 reported eating at a Mexican-style restaurant, including Chipotle Mexican Grill and Qdoba, authorities said Wednesday, adding both Chipotle and Qdoba received product from Coast Citrus out of Sinaloa. Chipotle has since switched its jalapeño supplier for impacted stores and Qdoba stopped serving jalapeños.

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
