FDA closes jalapeño outbreak investigation but retains recalled-product advice
FDA’s October 2 update says CDC declared the jalapeño-linked Salmonella outbreak over and FDA’s investigation ended.
What the record says
FDA says the recalled fresh peppers are past shelf life, but some products made with recalled jalapeños have longer shelf lives and may remain in homes.
Practical next step
Check the linked recall list and follow the applicable notice: discard recalled products or return them for a refund. Contact a healthcare provider if you think you developed symptoms after eating a dish with jalapeños.
Limits and what is not established
Ended does not mean every retained product is safe. This is not a recall of all jalapeños, a product-by-product clearance or a diagnosis.
