Taylor Farms expands a voluntary recall of its iceberg lettuce products sourced from central Mexico due to a potential link to a multistate cyclospora outbreak in the United States. Multiple outlets report that the company is recalling products shipped to 27 states. Reported destinations include Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and New Jersey, along with other states not specified in the provided excerpts.
Sources describe the parasite as cyclospora, which can cause a diarrheal illness. The company says the recalled items are those that have the potential to be contaminated, rather than confirmed contamination in every package. The recall is framed as an effort to contain the outbreak while authorities and the company assess the circumstances.
All accounts present the recall expansion as ongoing and linked to investigations into the outbreak’s source, with Taylor Farms citing the potential connection to its Mexico-sourced lettuce supply. The reporting also emphasizes that the recall covers products distributed across multiple states.
