More people are sick in a salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeños, according to updated data from officials.

A total of 431 people have fallen ill in the outbreak, and 57 people have been hospitalized. No one has died in the outbreak, which has affected people in 32 states, according to Aug. 19 updates from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The updated case count expands the outbreak by 86 illnesses, 21 hospitalizations and five states since the agencies’ last tally.

The CDC has connected the outbreak to jalapeños grown in Sinaloa, Mexico and distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors.

The affected products were sent to restaurants and distributors in the United States, including Chipotle and Qdoba, which have pulled jalapeños from their locations. A slew of grocery stores have also recalled items like guacamole and salsas that may contain jalapeños.

Salmonella is a foodborne illness that can cause stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting, per the CDC.
