• Taylor Farms has recalled salsa and guacamole products, citing salmonella risks.
• The food producer said it is pulling over 12 prepared food items containing jalapeños from stores.
• The recall follows a cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to Taylor Farms' iceberg lettuce last month.

Taylor Farms is recalling items, including salsa and guacamole, due to Salmonella risks, weeks after the company was linked to a cyclosporiasis outbreak.

On Sunday, the fresh food producer said that it is pulling over a dozen prepared food items containing jalapeños from retail stores because of concerns over Salmonella, a bacteria that can cause painful food poisoning.

The company said that it was issuing a voluntary recall of jalapeño products after being notified that Coast Citrus Distributors is pulling back fresh jalapeños due to potential Salmonella contamination. Both companies source jalapeños from a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, which was identified as the potential source in the outbreak.

Company at heart of lettuce-linked outbreak faces scrutiny​

Taylor Farms has also come under increased scrutiny, especially after some of its products were included in a jalapeño recall initiated by Coast Citrus Distributors in August, putting them at the center of a still-growing, multistate salmonella outbreak.

In late July, California Rep. Robert Garcia, a top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, sent a letter to the company's CEO Bruce Taylor, alleging that Taylor Farms had tried to influence or obstruct the FDA's investigation and mislead the public. The letter also pointed to the company's recent political donations, including one allegedly made to a Trump-associated super PAC.

"In 2025 alone, Taylor Farms donated more than $2 million to political action committees tied to President Donald Trump and other Republicans and spent over $810 million on lobbying related to food safety regulation," it reads.

Taylor Farms denied the allegations, saying in a statement shared with USA TODAY, "Taylor Farms categorically rejects any suggestion that the company has attempted or received favorable regulatory treatment as a result of political contributions or any other improper influence. These allegations are false."
