Bailey Farms recalled Serrano Peppers yesterday after discovering they may be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. Today, Giant Food has expanded that recall to include more types of peppers. No illnesses have been reported to date.
The recalled peppers are Serrano, Anaheim, Red Cherry Hot and Finger Hot Peppers. The PLU number is 4691. They were sold at Giant Food Stores on or after October 9, 2014.
If you purchased any of these peppers from Giant Food stores, do not eat them. Discard them in a closed or double-bagged container or return to the place of purchase for a refund. You can throw away the peppers and bring the receipt to Giant stores.
You can’t see, smell, or taste Salmonella bacteria and it does not make food look, smell, or taste spoiled. The symptoms of a Salmonella infection include diarrhea that may be bloody, abdominal and stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and fever. Symptoms usually start within 12 to 72 hours after exposure.
