Why Salata Recalled Its Jalapeno Avocado Dressing

Salata was alerted by its diced-jalapeño supplier that certain ingredient lots might be linked to an FDA-investigated multistate Salmonella outbreak. In response, Salata quarantined and destroyed the affected inventory, halted distribution, notified H-E-B, and initiated this consumer recall.

Health Risks of Salmonella Infection

Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps 6–72 hours after consumption. In severe cases, the bacteria may enter the bloodstream, posing a higher risk to young children, older adults, and anyone with a weakened immune system.
