MEXICO CITY — Mexico said on Sunday there was no evidence that a Salmonella outbreak in the United States came from Mexican produce, amid reports U.S. officials will probe jalapeno peppers grown south of the border.
“In Mexico there has been no Salmonella outbreak in recent months, and definitely not of the type (of Salmonella) being seen in the United States,” Mexican agriculture ministry spokesman Marco Antonio Sifuentes told Reuters.
Sifuentes said Mexico has not been told of any U.S. plans to expand a probe into Mexican produce beginning on Monday, which was reported by CNN on Thursday. “Nobody has told us anything,” Sifuentes said.
