Taylor Farms Bought Deregulation, Then People Got Parasites:

Taylor Fresh Foods donated $1 million to the Trump-aligned MAGA Inc. super PAC on March 26, 2025 - just 6 days after the FDA delayed enforcement of the Food Traceability Rule until 2028

I also don’t understand why Taylor Farms keeps getting a free pass by the media on this. They’re the same outfit linked to the e. Coli outbreak from onions provided to McDonalds, among others.
Taylor Farms was founded in 1995 by Bruce Taylor, a third-generation lettuce grower in Salinas, California. It reports $7 billion in annual revenue, more than 25,000 employees and 165 million servings of produce a week. It has repeatedly been found responsible for devastating pathogen outbreaks and received nothing but slaps on the wrist.

Maybe #Felon47 & the morally bankrupt #republicans should focus on tracing & stopping the #Cyclospora #cyclosporiasis outbreak afflicting their own citizens & #foodsupply rather than #blamingCanada for #climatecrisis #WildfireSmoke smoke. Get your own house in order & stop distracting from the #EpsteinFiles & #iranwar.
Oh, I see the US media has now moved on to ‘source of cyclosporiasis outbreak unknown’.
LOL, you folks are doomed.

Everything Trump Touches Dies. Also, everything that touches Trump dies. I hope Taylor Farms learns lessons into bankruptcy.

I'm looking for US cyclosporia outbreak updates, and it looks like Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce may *not* be the culprit:
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Sunday that laboratory experts re-reviewed sample results in the Taylor Farms cyclospora investigation and concluded the finding should be considered a false positive."
Are we any closet to knowing what is and is not safe to eat?

"The Marketside finding deserves its own paragraph, because of what CDC told NBC News on Friday morning: shredded lettuce sold in grocery stores or served in other restaurants is not affected. Taylor Farms’ own recall notice lists consumer retail bags of shredded iceberg lettuce and iceberg salad. Both statements are in the public record this weekend and they cannot both be true.
Federal officials themselves told STAT that other brands, restaurants, retailers or distribution channels could yet be tied to the outbreak. And Michigan’s chief medical executive, Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, made the point plainly: a supplier that sells to restaurants may also stock grocery stores, and many people who got sick in her state said they never ate at Taco Bell."
"Taylor Farms Posted Its Own Recall. It Went to 27 States, Not 5 — and the List Includes Bags Sold in Grocery Stores."

Taco Bell iceberg lettuce identified as source of cyclosporiasis in 5 states
#FoodSafety #TacoBell #Cyclosporiasis #HealthAlert
Hmm, that Pavlovian bell in the commercial for a certain taco chain may get associated with something else. 😬 #cyclosporiasis
I hope Trump gives us those promised DOGE refund checks soon, from all that money Elon Musk saved us, because I need it to pay for my explosive diarrhea medication
#cyclosporiasis
Anyone that has been sickened by #cyclosporiasis and is experiencing explosive diarrhea as a result of Elon Musk’s gutting of the FDA, be sure to visit your local Tesla dealership for a test drive
Given the current CDC’s makeup, I wouldn’t rely on this being the only source. I don’t know anyone who eats st Taco Bell, but I do know people who are sick. Keep washing your produce.
#Lettuce supplier identified as potential source of #cyclosporiasis #outbreak
The #CDC has linked the #TaylorFarms produce supplied to #TacoBell to the outbreak of the parasitic illness, according to two persons familiar with the investigation.
