今年8月，Salata Dressings公司因担心产品可能受到沙门氏菌污染，主动召回了其生产的墨西哥辣椒牛油果沙拉酱。
Salata Dressings initiated the recall of its Jalapeño Avocado Dressing in August over concerns about possible salmonella contamination.
美国食品药品监督管理局本周宣布，由于担心沙门氏菌污染，该公司实施的自愿召回行动被列为最高风险等级。
The Food and Drug Administration this week classified to its highest-risk designation a company’s voluntary recall of a salad dressing over concerns about salmonella contamination, the agency said.
这家总部位于休斯敦的Salata Dressings公司于8月份主动召回了其生产的墨西哥辣椒牛油果沙拉酱。经调查，该产品中含有的墨西哥辣椒可能与一起波及多个州的沙门氏菌疫情有关，而FDA也一直在对此展开调查。
The company, Salata Dressings of Houston, voluntarily recalled its Jalapeño Avocado Dressing in August. Diced jalapeños in it were potentially linked to a widespread, multistate salmonella outbreak in jalapeño peppers that the F.D.A. had also been investigating.
在周二发布的公告中，FDA将此次召回行动定为1级风险，这意味着食用或接触受污染的召回产品可能导致“严重的健康损害甚至死亡”。据Salata公司称，被召回的12.5盎司装瓶装产品的保质期截止日期分别为2026年11月5日、13日、18日和25日；被召回的1加仑装大包装产品的保质期截止日期则为10月6日、14日、20日和26日。FDA指出，这些产品共有1700多件被销往乔治亚州、北卡罗来纳州和德克萨斯州。
In an announcement on Tuesday, the F.D.A. designated Salata’s recall as a Class 1, meaning that use of or exposure to a contaminated recalled product could lead to “serious adverse health consequences or death.”The recalled 12.5-ounce bottles had best-by dates of Nov. 5, 13, 18 or 25, 2026, and the recalled one-gallon jugs had best-by dates of Oct. 6, 14, 20 and 26, according to Salata. More than 1,700 cases were distributed in Georgia, North Carolina and Texas, the F.D.A. said.
据该公司与FDA称，目前尚未出现与该沙拉酱相关的任何患病案例。
No illnesses have been reported in connection to the salad dressing, according to the company and the F.D.A.
该机构指出，沙门氏菌感染对儿童及体质较弱的人群而言可能引发严重甚至致命的感染；而健康人群则可能出现发烧、腹泻、恶心、呕吐及腹痛等症状。
In children and those who are frail, cases of salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections.
据FDA统计，此次大规模疫情共导致34个州出现488例沙门氏菌感染病例，其中65人需要住院治疗。周五，美国疾病控制与预防中心及FDA联合宣布，此次大规模疫情已经结束。
Healthy people might experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, according to the agency. In the larger outbreak, 488 cases of salmonella, and 65 hospitalizations, were reported in 34 states, the F.D.A. said.
声明称，为海岸柑橘分销公司供货的墨西哥锡那罗亚州一家身份不明的种植园“很可能是此次疫情的源头”。周六，记者未能联系到海岸柑橘分销公司的代表以寻求置评。今年8月，在得知其产品与锡那罗亚州的该种植园及海岸柑橘分销公司有关联后，墨西哥风味餐厅Chipotle便立即从旗下门店下架了墨西哥辣椒。
In a statement on Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the F.D.A. declared that mass outbreak to be over. The statement said that an unidentified grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, that supplies Coast Citrus Distributors was “the likely source” of the outbreak. A Coast Citrus representative could not immediately be reached for comment on Saturday Chipotle Mexican Grill pulled jalapeños from its restaurants in August after being notified of its product’s connection to the Sinaloa grower and to Coast Citrus Distributors.
同年8月，泰勒农场公司也主动召回了含有墨西哥辣椒的产品，包括辣味鳄梨酱和墨西哥莎莎酱。
In August, Taylor Farms also voluntarily recalled products containing jalapeños, like spicy guacamole and pico de gallo.
