Within hours or days of being exposed to the bacteria, infected people often suffer from diarrhoea, fever and stomach cramps.<\/p>\n<p>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Wednesday that the chilli peppers were moved into the US by Coast Citrus Distributors. The company has recalled the peppers and is in the process of notifying its customers, which include some prominent Mexican food restaurant chains like Chipotle and Qdoba.<\/p>\n<p>Chipotle Mexican Grill said Tuesday that it had removed jalapenos from some of its restaurants. Qdoba on Wednesday said the company had proactively removed jalapenos from all of its restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven their actions to remove product from their stores, neither of these establishments are considered a current ongoing risk to consumers in this outbreak,\u201d CDC officials said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The FDA is investigating whether any of the jalapenos were distributed throughout grocery stores.
