More than 35 H-E-B foods recalled as salmonella outbreak spreads

H-E-B is voluntarily recalling dozens of products containing jalapeño peppers as federal health officials investigate a multistate salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeños imported from Sinaloa, Mexico. According to a company statement, affected products were distributed to retail customers in Texas and Louisiana between July 3, 2026, and August 5, 2026. The recall includes multiple H-E-B Pico de Gallo varieties, Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Mushrooms, diced jalapeños, and NatureBest pico de gallo and diced jalapeños. More than 35 additional H-E-B and Mi Tienda prepared foods using jalapeños are included, such as guacamole and prepared seafood like ceviche and shrimp cocktail. H-E-B says currently available products are safe, and the FDA reports no illnesses linked so far.
