The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Thursday that the number of reported salmonella cases has returned to the normal amount expected at this point in the year, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has lifted its consumer warning regarding raw jalapeno and serrano peppers as the contaminated strain is no longer being circulated.

The Salmonella Saintpaul outbreak, the largest of its kind in a decade, has caused approximately 286 individual hospitalizations and two possible deaths.
