Company Announcement

NatureBest Precut & Produce LLC, with facilities located in Missouri City, TX and Houston, TX is voluntarily recalling products containing jalapeño peppers supplied by Coast Citrus Distributors due to the potential for contamination with Salmonella. Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

The affected products were distributed to retail customers in Texas and Louisiana between July 3, 2026, and August 5, 2026.

The recalled products are listed below:

This recall was initiated after NatureBest was notified by Coast Citrus Distributors that certain jalapeño peppers supplied by Coast Citrus Distributors were subject to a recall. The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners, are investigating illnesses in a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Javiana infections linked to jalapeño peppers from Sinaloa, Mexico and distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors. Based on epidemiological information collected by CDC, a total of 345 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella have been reported from 27 states. Products manufactured using the affected jalapeños may therefore be impacted.

NatureBest Precut & Produce LLC has ceased distribution of the affected products and is working in cooperation with its supplier and regulatory authorities regarding this recall.

Consumers who have purchased the affected products should not consume them but discard the products or return them to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions may contact NatureBest Precut & Produce LLC at (713) 278-0425, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CT or email sales@naturebestprecut.com.
