Jalapeños Sold at Costco Recalled: See Affected Products

Jalapeño peppers sold at Costco stores are being recalled because of potential salmonella contamination.

The recall was initiated by Houston-based Dairyland Produce LLC, doing business as Hardie’s Fresh Foods. The peppers were sold at two known Costco locations in Dallas and Stafford, Texas, according to an Aug. 17 U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notice. Hardie’s has stopped producing and distributing the peppers, according to the agency.

Which Jalapeños Are Recalled?

The affected jalapeños were produced by Dairyland Produce and repacked by Hardie’s Fresh Foods. Labels may still read “Dairyland Produce.” The peppers came in clear plastic bags labeled “Pepper Jalapeno.”

Symptoms of Salmonella Poisoning

Symptoms of salmonella poisoning usually start six hours to six days after ingesting the bacteria. The most common symptoms are diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Most healthy people recover in four to seven days without treatment. But some vulnerable people, including children under 5, adults 65 and older and people with weakened immune systems, may experience more severe illness requiring medical treatment or hospitalization.

The CDC advises contacting a health care professional if you experience any of these more serious symptoms:

• Diarrhea and a fever higher than 102 degrees Fahrenheit
• Diarrhea for more than three days that is not improving
• Bloody diarrhea
• Vomiting to the point that you cannot keep liquids down
• Signs of dehydration, such as infrequent urination, dry mouth and throat or dizziness when standing up

Other Jalapeño Recalls

The FDA did not state that the recalled Hardie’s Fresh Foods jalapeños were part of the larger, ongoing jalapeño recall linked to a multistate salmonella outbreak.

USA TODAY reached out to the FDA and Hardie’s to confirm that this recall is separate from one initiated by Coast Citrus Distributors earlier this month. That recall has included products from Taylor Farms, Whole Foods and NatureBest, sold at H-E-B, Hannaford, Kroger, Target, Trader Joe’s, Walmart and Stop & Shop.

As of Aug. 14, 345 people had been reported ill across 27 states in the salmonella outbreak, resulting in 36 hospitalizations.
