Taylor Farms says it is voluntarily removing certain iceberg lettuce products after federal information tied them to a nationwide cyclosporiasis (Cyclospora) outbreak. The company states that, based on information provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Taylor Farms de Mexico will remove all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico. Multiple outlets report that the action follows the company’s earlier identification as a possible source of the outbreak, which authorities describe as affecting people across many states.
CBS News also reports that Taylor Farms says none of its branded salads or kits contain the specific iceberg lettuce associated with the outbreak. Other coverage emphasizes that the company is limiting the withdrawal to the potentially linked lettuce rather than all retail items.
Business Insider cites the scale of the outbreak, noting public health updates indicating thousands of reported cases across dozens of states. Overall, outlets agree on the core steps: the voluntary removal of iceberg lettuce from the suspected Mexico supply and the company’s assertion that other packaged products are not implicated.
