\n\nThe number of foods affected by the recall on fresh jalapeños keeps growing higher as more and more products are identified. On Friday, H-E-B added nearly 20 new items to its list of recalled foods that were sold in its stores.
\n\nThe latest additions were produced by NatureBest Precut & Produce and were sold in Texas and Louisiana under the NatureBest name, as well as the H-E-B brand. According to the statement posted on the Food and Drug Administration's website, they were distributed between July 3, 2026, and August 5, 2026. NatureBest says it has stopped distributing any of the affected products.
\n\nThe recall comes after NatureBest was alerted by Coast Citrus Distributors that they may contain jalapeño peppers that could be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacterium that can cause fever, diarrhea, and vomiting, among other symptoms, in healthy people and more serious infections in children, seniors, or those with weakened immune systems, the statement explained.
\n\nAt least 345 people across 27 states have become infected with Salmonella that is believed to have come from the peppers, the FDA said.
