The FDA’s upgrade marks the most severe classification used for food recalls, signaling an urgent public health concern. Yahoo disclosed that 13,000 containers are being pulled from 13 states, while the New York Post and USA Today confirmed the FDA’s classification as the highest risk level. The FDA’s classification triggers mandatory removal from distribution at Whole Foods locations in the cited states.

People.com added that investigators are focusing on a jalapeño supplier linked to the salmonella contamination, and the investigation into the jalapeño supplier is ongoing, according to People.com. Delish echoed the nationwide scope of the recall. Food Poison Journal reported separate salmonella cases involving sprouts and peppers that sickened 486 people across 36 states, noting that the recall for those items arrived after the final reported illness.

No public data yet detail how many illnesses are directly tied to the Whole Foods guacamole, leaving the full impact of the recall uncertain. Authorities have not released a case count linked directly to the guacamole. The FDA will continue monitoring for additional reports.
