Federal officials on Saturday issued a public health alert for meat products containing jalape\u00f1os that may be linked to a salmonella outbreak<\/a> that has sickened hundreds of people across at least 27 states. <\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, or FSIS, said the alert applied to red meat and poultry products containing jalape\u00f1os that may be contaminated with salmonella. <\/p>\n

The USDA said that it learned of the issue when it discovered that multiple establishments that are regulated by FSIS had received a recalled ingredient. <\/p>\n

It released a list<\/a> of 18 recalled products that are impacted by the alert. Those included the brands Taylor Farms, Ready Meals, Meal Simple, Higher Harvest and Deli Kitchen. <\/p>\n

The agency said in a statement that it “expects additional downstream products will be identified as this ingredient recall progresses.”<\/p>\n

The first illnesses in the salmonella outbreak were reported in mid-June, according to<\/a> the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and were linked to jalape\u00f1o peppers grown in Sinaloa, Mexico, and distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors to wholesalers, restaurants and food service companies. <\/p>\n

The USDA said that so far “there have been no confirmed reports of illness” from products regulated by FSIS that contain jalape\u00f1os that were sourced from Sinaloa. <\/p>\n

As of Aug. 5, the outbreak had sickened at least 345 people, 36 of whom have been hospitalized, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports. Minnesota was particularly hard hit<\/a>, with at least 110 cases confirmed in the state. <\/p>\n

Data compiled by the CDC found that of 191 patients that were interviewed about their illness, 93% reported eating at a Mexican-stye restaurant before falling sick, including popular chains Chipotle and Qdoba. <\/p>\n

Chipotle announced this week<\/a> that it had pulled jalape\u00f1os from some of its restaurants, and Qdoba followed suit soon after<\/a>. <\/p>\n

On Saturday, grocery giant Albertsons announced<\/a> that it was voluntarily recalling four items containing jalapenos \u2014 salsa and corn salad \u2014 supplied by Taylor Farms. CBS News has reached out to Taylor Farms for comment. <\/p>\n

Symptoms of salmonella can include diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps. Those symptoms can begin anywhere from six hours to six days after consuming the bacteria, the CDC says.\u00a0<\/p>\n
