Jalapeno market - No sweat

Could it be that the jalapeno market is oblivious to the FDA consumer warning?
As Jay Martini noted in the June 16 post
"Geographic Irony," the Hispanic market and the Hispanic consumer were the first to come back to tomatoes. From that post by Jay:

Along with the other ethnicities that comprise the lifeblood of the present-day terminal market, Mexican grocery stores have been the only buyers up til now that have stepped up to the plate, saying in effect 'I don't care what the FDA is advising', and stocked their stores for Father's Day.

The terminal market reports from the USDA that I just pulled up from today appear to show a steady market for jalapenos everywhere.
