#TaylorFarms Spent Big on #MAGA and #AntiRegulatory #Lobbying Before #Diarrhea Outbreak
The company donated more than $3.6 million to #conservative groups between 2020 and 2025, including $1 million to the #MAGAInc. #SuperPAC.

"The lettuce supplier at the center of the turbo diarrhea outbreak has spent millions of dollars to sway sentiment around #FoodRegulation and elect Donald Trump and other MAGA Republicans, according to public filings.
"Taylor Farms donated more than $2 million to conservative political groups in 2025, according to Federal Election Commission filings. That includes a $1 million donation to MAGA Inc., the Trump-centric super PAC, and $1.1 million to other super PACs dedicated to electing Republicans.
"From 2020 through the end of 2024, the company donated more than $1.6 million to conservative PACs, including a total of $850,000 to #AFPAction, an anti-regulation super PAC with ties to the #Koch network.
"#BruceTaylor, the chairman and CEO of Taylor Farms, is also a longtime donor to Republican causes. Since 2020, Taylor has personally donated more than $900,000 to Republican PACs and candidates, including contributions to Texas senator #JohnCornyn and Tennessee senator #MarshaBlackburn."

The Times’s examination also offers a window into how #Musk used private #companies to support #Trump during the 2024 #election. Tapping these companies to cover the expenses of a #superPAC is “highly unusual”, #CampaignFinance experts said, & ended up obscuring how #money was being spent because they are not subject to the disclosure requirements of super PACs.
