The U.S. CDC and the FDA said on Wednesday they are investigating a multistate Salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeno peppers from Mexico, which have sickened 345 people across 27 states and prompted a recall of affected products.
The FDA said 36 hospitalizations and no deaths have been reported, while the investigation remains ongoing.
The health agencies linked the outbreak to jalapeno peppers supplied by a common grower in Sinaloa and distributed in the U.S. by Coast Citrus Distributors.
The company has agreed to recall the remaining product and is notifying affected customers, the FDA said.
