Albertsons Companies Voluntarily Recalls Four Items Containing Jalapeños Supplied by Taylor Farms Due to an Ingredient Recall for Possible Salmonella Contamination

Following a supplier-initiated recall by Taylor Farms, Albertsons Companies has voluntarily recalled two salsa and two salad items due to possible salmonella contamination. The affected products contain jalapeños that were recalled by Taylor Farms' distributor Direct Roots, due to their supply chain association with the ongoing FDA recall involving Coast Citrus Distributors.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume these products and to dispose of them or return the items to their local store for a full refund. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.

The four items were available for purchase at the following stores: Albertsons, Jewel-Osco, Randalls and Tom Thumb stores in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.

Consumers with questions should contact Albertsons Companies' Customer Service Center at 1-877-723-3929 Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. PST.
