Dairyland Produce, LLC BB #:365798, dba Hardie’s Fresh Foods of Houston, TX BB #:396960 and Dallas, TX BB #:396962 are recalling PEPPER JALAPENO 5#, because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
