Aug 9 (Reuters) - Taylor Farms said on Sunday it was recalling prepared food items containing jalapeños from retailers over concerns about potential salmonella contamination, a few weeks after removing lettuce from Mexico that U.S. authorities linked to the cyclospora parasite.
The California-based supplier said it had voluntarily recalled the products, including salsas and guacamole, after being notified that Coast Citrus Distributors was recalling the fresh peppers.
Taylor said in a statement it was no longer sourcing from a farmer in Sinaloa, Mexico, that was identified as the potential source of the salmonella outbreak.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said earlier this week they were investigating the salmonella outbreak, which had sickened 345 people across 27 states and led to 36 hospitalizations.
The U.S. investigation identified restaurants including Chipotle Mexican Grill and Qdoba, a Mexican-style restaurant chain, as having received jalapeños imported by Coast Citrus Distributors. Both restaurants stopped using them, while Coast Citrus recalled the remaining product and notified customers.

Will you get a red card if you sue FIFA?
There must have been a spike in the use of Harvey, Legora, and the other legal AI platforms late last night as thousands of American lawyers tried to figure out how to sue FIFA for the red card given to American soccer star Folarin Balogun, despite having been screaming at their televisions for hours. This morning, the front page of The Wall Street Journal practically begged for some lawyer to make a claim. In case you don’t have access to such AI legal smarts, even though they are becoming ubiquitous, instant and nearly free, here is the AI enhanced summary for you to pontificate about with a beer in your hand at the Fourth of July barbeque in the backyard of that neighbor you are so envious of that you no longer like them. The short answer is that you can sue—if you can avoid sanctions—but you probably cannot win. If you were going to sue anyway, however, here are the claims you would make, with only one having even a remote—as in you may be better off buying a lottery ticket—chance of success.
Every theory mentioned here has more holes than ****** e here will allow me to explain, but if you want to sound like both a soccer fan and a litigator, because all fans sound like litigators yelling, at your neighborhood Fourth of July party, here is your legal playbook.
The first rule of sports litigation, my twelve years old nephew tells me, is that courts almost never want to become instant replay officials. Whether the dispute involves baseball umpires, Olympic judging, horse racing stewards, or FIFA referees, judges generally recognize that sports require finality-- like that famous sporting event, Bush versus Gore . Games have winners and losers because someone has perceived authority to make decisions on the field, as in who has the best homemade salsa. If every controversial call became federal litigation, no championship would ever end, but the AI agents would be very happy because they would be helping their company’s get very rich.
That is why the first lawsuit most American lawyers would draft is also the weakest.

With the first wave of nations now headed back home, who's your favorite World Cup Character so far? The Norse rowers who "paddled" their way up Boston escalators? The Scottish Tartan Army who drank planes and bars dry and even made Mets and Marlins games tolerable? The German tourist astounded by college football stadiums and Buc-ees? The **** anese visitors delighted by free chips and salsa? The awestruck visitors running afoul of TSA for trying to bring home bottles of ranch dressing?
Me, I'm going with a write-in vote: The Americans who are surprised, delighted and grateful to see their own country through the world's eyes. Yes, plenty of grifters are trying their best to stain the World Cup, but this game is too big to be contained by greed and corruption.
America is getting a look at just how much fun it can be when cultures mix. We'll see how long that feeling lasts.
This culture shock is, in a way, understandable. Americans are so inundated with criticism of their own nation and fellow countrypeople — with most of the calls coming from inside the house — that it's been a genuine shock to see so many visitors viewing our glories with wide-eyed wonder. Texas barbecue, white-sand beaches and quaint small towns, ranch dressing and salsa, gas stations the size of aircraft carriers, stadiums large enough to stage a Godzilla vs. Kong fight — the things we take for granted are amazing and delighting our World Cup visitors from all over the globe.
