Understanding this recall
What happened
Sirna & Sons Produce is recalling 1 lb bags of jalapeño peppers because of potential contamination with Salmonella Javiana.
Why it matters
Salmonella bacteria can cause salmonellosis, with diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps that usually start 6 hours to 6 days after exposure. Most people recover within a week, but young children, adults 65 and older, pregnant people and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to become seriously ill. Foods eaten raw or uncooked, like fresh peppers, salsa, sprouts and powders, can't be made safe by the consumer.
Who should pay attention
Food-service operators in Ohio and Pennsylvania (the report says the product was for food-service use only).
Distribution in the FDA report: OH, PA (for food service use only)
