FDA: Taylor Farms lettuce tests positive for cyclospora
FDA officials confirmed that a sample of shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico tested positive for cyclospora, linked to a parasite outbreak causing gastrointestinal illness. The sample was not part of the recent recall, but the company is investigating whether any of the contaminated product is in circulation. The outbreak has affected patients across 34 states, with some reports of over 5,000 cases and 102 hospitalizations. Taylor Farms has voluntarily removed iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico, and Taco Bell and Walmart have pulled affected lettuce products as a precaution.
