What to do if you have it
Nothing about jalapeno pepper will look or smell wrong, because the organisms behind this kind of recall leave no trace you can see or taste. Do not cook it to make it safe and do not sample it. Throw it out or return it, then wash anything it touched, including the shelf it sat on and the container beside it.
How to tell whether your package is one of them
A recall covers particular production runs, not everything the company makes, so the codes decide it. These are the ones the FDA published. Match them against what is printed on your package, usually near the best-before date.
No lot code information. Recall is for all product with a pack date of 07/01/2026 through 07/31/2026
