· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Federal authorities reported that the source of the jalapeños linked to a salmonella outbreak in several states across the United States has been traced back to a producer in Sinaloa, Mexico. At least 345 people in 27 states have fallen ill from the strain of salmonella associated with the jalapeños, with the majority of cases reported in Minnesota and Colorado. No deaths have been reported, but authorities indicated that 36 people have been hospitalized. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) noted on Wednesday that the peppers were imported into the U.S. by Coast Citrus Distributors. The company has recalled the product and is notifying its customers, which include some prominent Mexican restaurant chains, officials said.
