Jalapeno Pepper..................Avacado
Salmonella discovery
prompts food recall in NC
State agriculture officials have announced a
recall of jalapeno peppers and avocados
distributed in North Carolina after samples from
a food distributor tested positive for
salmonella.
They have asked a Charlotte food distributor to
recall the items it received from a Texas food
supply company because of possible salmonella
contamination. The Texas supplier also has been
asked to recall the specific products distributed
in North Carolina.
The Food and Drug Protection Division and the
state Division of Environmental Health are
working to determine how many North Carolina
outlets received the produce.
Officials say there's no immediate sign that the
contamination matches the salmonella strain that
has sickened more than 1,200 people nationwide.
