Key Points:
- The FDA announced that a Taylor Farms lettuce sample initially testing positive for Cyclospora is now considered a false positive after further laboratory review.
- No product samples from Taylor Farms have produced a confirmed positive result for Cyclospora as of the latest update.
- Taylor Fresh Foods confirmed the FDA informed them of the incorrect initial result and emphasized that no positive product tests have been identified.
- Taylor Farms voluntarily recalled iceberg lettuce from central Mexico on July 17 after an investigation linked it to Cyclospora illnesses at Taco Bell restaurants, but this recall does not include other Taylor Farms products.
- The FDA continues to work with Taylor Farms and state partners to remove implicated products from the market and is actively collecting and analyzing additional samples.
