Texas ? Federal officials investigating a three-month-old salmonella outbreak have isolated the bacteria in a jalapeno pepper from a small distribution facility in McAllen, Texas, and Monday warned consumers nationwide to avoid eating raw jalapenos or products that contain them until more is known.

Investigators found the contaminated jalapeno at Agricola Zaragosa in McAllen, after tracing back jalapenos eaten by restaurant patrons who got sick. The company has stopped distributing jalapeno peppers and is recalling jalapenos sold since June 30 to customers in Georgia and Texas. The tainted pepper was grown in Mexico, but investigators don’t know where the contamination occurred.
