Retailers Remove More Taylor Farms Lettuce After Recall in 27 States
The recall covers 25 products and follows a traceback that found a positive sample from Taylor Farms de Mexico, officials said.
- The Food and Drug Administration reported Saturday that a sample of shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico tested positive for Cyclospora; the agency clarified the positive lot was not part of the earlier recall.
- Traceback investigations linked Taylor Farms lettuce to illnesses in 34 states, with Michigan health officials reporting more than 5,000 cases and 102 hospitalizations as of July 16, establishing the outbreak's scale.
- Taco Bell removed Taylor Farms lettuce from restaurants, while Walmart pulled select Marketside-brand products from stores in 27 states; Taylor Farms suspended distribution from Central Mexico.
- The FDA is currently detaining the positive lot while investigators determine whether any contaminated products reached consumers, as Taylor Farms remains "actively removing" implicated items from the market.
- Consumers should discard or return recalled Marketside products with "Best if Used By" dates ranging from July 18 through August 3, 2026 to prevent further Cyclospora exposure.
