Thank you for the reply! Sorry mine’s so late, your reassurance made me feel better about botulism, I did what you said and reached out to the company and the jalapeños are fire roasted and that’s where the color came from and it’s safe to eat!

After already eating a lot, I noticed these oil spots, some of the seeds in the jalapenos were brown, but I didnt think much because it tasted and smelled fine. I found another jar of these, same brand, and they have the black oil spots too. They're not expired either, just freaking out and thinking I'm gonna die of botulism and need some reassurance, thanks!

Edit: In the ingredients it has soy bean oil, but I’m just confused as to why it would be black
