   H-E-B recalls jalapeño products over salmonella risk

   H-E-B has recalled dozens of jalapeño-containing products, including guacamole and prepared foods, due to salmonella concerns. The recall affects over 50 items across H-E-B stores in Texas. This comes as 345 people have reportedly fallen sick. Major retailers including Trader Joe's, Walmart, and Target have also been affected by the recall.
