Mexican Farm Linked to Jalapeño Salmonella Outbreak in U.S.

Federal officials have traced jalapeño peppers connected to a multistate salmonella outbreak in the United States to a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico. Investigators also identified a U.S. distributor as part of their inquiry.

Regulators linked the contaminated peppers to the outbreak affecting multiple states. They identified both the farm in Mexico and a distributor operating within the U.S.

The investigation into the source of the salmonella contamination continues. Authorities have not yet released the names of the specific farm or distributor.
