FDA Revisits Taylor Farms Lettuce Recall | Fargo News
About this episode
The FDA continues to investigate Taylor Farms' iceberg lettuce as the likely source of a significant cyclosporiasis outbreak affecting over 1,600 people this summer.
FDA still blames Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce for this summer’s massive cyclosporiasis outbreak — despite a false positive test — as over 1,600 people fall ill, 94 hospitalized. Taco Bell, Walmart, and 27 states are affected; experts urge tossing any recalled lettuce. Though no actual contaminated product has been found, the FDA’s epidemiological data and interviews with sickened customers point to Taylor Farms’ Mexican-grown lettuce as the likely source. The agency continues testing at the southern border, while Taylor Farms has halted sourcing from central Mexico for the season. Experts note cyclosporiasis outbreaks are common in summer, but this one’s unusually large — and pinpointing the exact source remains a complex puzzle.
