Jalapeño Outbreak Hits Fast-Casual Chains | Pittsburgh News
Description
A major salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeños from Mexico has sickened 345 people across 27 states, with 36 hospitalized — and the real number is likely higher. The peppers, distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors and used in chains like Qdoba and Chipotle, sparked illnesses starting in mid-June. Minnesota and Colorado are hotspots, and both Qdoba and Chipotle have pulled jalapeños nationwide as a precaution. Health officials warn this is a fast-moving public health threat — and the investigation is still unfolding.
