When the United States ratified the 13th amendment in 1865, federal lawmakers very nearly outlawed slavery for good — but not entirely. Tucked within arguably the most important corner of the US constitution is a massive caveat: “neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States” In the 160-some years since that amendment, a quieter type of forced servitude has lived on in the US: prison labor. From the debt peonage of the post-Civil War reconstruction era to the privatized contracting of the 21st century, prison labor is a massive money maker, generating $11 billion worth of goods in 2022 alone. As horrifying a thought as it is, one of the companies still benefiting from the practice is in the news for another reason: spreading a gut-busting diarrhea parasite through mass-produced shredded lettuce in grocery stores and fast food outlets. It turns out that Taylor Farms, the agricultural company widely believed to be behind the cyclospora outbreakcurrently raging throughout the US, is also heavily involved in modern-day forced labor #forcedlabor #TaylorFarms

#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. by Kate Taylor, Jul 21, 2026 "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 entire Taylor Farms Cyclospora lettuce debacle with an FDA backpedal is highly suspect to me - especially when this corporation has been a huge contributor to the current admin and the backpedal occurred after the fact they had a "private meeting". It is especially true when people realize Taylor Farms private labels their lettuce for what seems like at least 1/3 of the lettuce products out there, and this affects a large number of other corporations with its enormous, and dominant, market share. You'd think instead of the FDA calling this a "false positive" , despite the huge list of epidemiological evidence in the matter, they would have actually tested the lettuce that was apart of the recall first. Yes, the lettuce they tested was a "contaminated sample collected through targeted import surveillance as part of the agency's investigation. The agency said Taylor Farms confirmed the positive sample is not part of the company's voluntary recall". A federal agency announcing a positive match to the public and then retracting it within 24 hours, despite all the evidence, ...that must be a historical rarity. https://www.wired.com/story/diarrhea-outbreak-taylor-farms-maga-donations-lobbying/ https://www.yahoo.com/news/science/articles/fda-taylor-farms-lettuce-thats-232436144.html#:~:text=The%20FDA,agency%20said,-%2E https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/investigation-5-state-outbreak-cyclospora-illnesses-iceberg-lettuce-july-2026 https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/20/well/eat/cyclospora-false-positive-lettuce-taylor-farms-fda.html https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/cyclospora/after-withdrawing-false-positive-test-fda-says-taylor-farms-lettuce-still-focus #taylorfarms #recall #Cyclospora #uspol #food

RE: https://flipboard.com/@futurism/health-medicine-io5pfvrsz/-/a-Wn1WsjltQOG073wRYcONwQ%3Aa%3A1737388686-%2F0 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. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2026/07/18/zgne-j18.html #Cyclosporiasis #TaylorFarms

Everything Trump Touches Dies. Also, everything that touches Trump dies. I hope Taylor Farms learns lessons into bankruptcy. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2026/07/20/taylor-farms-lettuce-recall-cyclosporiasis-update/90979503007/?fbclid=IwVERDUATLRqZleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAwzNTA2ODU1MzE3MjgAAR6ixLhoPLAiRznhrK_Ts9XuCk64D_nq-Upk6AD9fq9EPZRY0IB2YoIl8yUhNw_aem_u0vga3ntkBZ2WNJIhqrvOw #TaylorFarms #MAGA #Diarreha #BruceTaylor #Cyclosporiasis #USPol

The corps have stopped the #USDA & #FDA from protecting consumers first when it comes to food safety. One of the ways they did it was by suing the agency that announced who shipped tainted food & who distributed it. The system is set up to protect the corps & not the public. We don't have the lobbying power big Ag does. This failure to NAME the stores carrying the products & report the details is dangerous to public health, Here's the #FDA report FROM #TaylorFarms

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Lattuga contaminata nei fast food: individuata l’origine dell’epidemia di ciclosporiasi che sta travolgendo gli Usa. L’allarme delle autorità sanitarie: “I ricoveri aumenteranno” La caccia alla fonte di quella che si sta configurando come una delle più grandi epidemie di malattie di origine alimentare degli ultimi anni negli Stati Uniti è arrivata a una svolta. La Food and Drug Administration (FDA) e i Centri per il controllo e la prevenzione delle malattie (CDC) hanno individuato l’origine del violentissimo focolaio di virus intestinale che sta colpendo migliaia di persone in oltre 30 Stati americani: si tratta delle insalate confezionate prodotte dall’azienda californiana Taylor Farms. Il contagio si è diffuso capillarmente attraverso la catena di fast food Taco Bell, rifornita dal produttore californiano, e nello specifico a causa della lattuga iceberg tritata proveniente dal Messico e distribuita nei ristoranti di cinque Stati del Midwest: Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio e West Virginia. L'articolo Lattuga contaminata nei fast food: individuata l’origine dell’epidemia di ciclosporiasi che sta travolgendo gli Usa. L’allarme delle autorità sanitarie: “I ricoveri aumenteranno” proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano. Lettuce contaminated in fast food restaurants: the origin of the cyclosporiasis outbreak that is overwhelming the US has been identified. The warning from health authorities: "Hospitalizations will increase." The hunt for the source of what is developing as one of the largest outbreaks of foodborne illnesses in recent years in the United States has reached a turning point. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have identified the origin of the violent outbreak of intestinal virus that is affecting thousands of people in over 30 American states: it is due to prepackaged salads produced by the Californian company Taylor Farms. The contagion has spread capillarily through the fast food chain Taco Bell, supplied by the Californian producer, and specifically because of iceberg lettuce shredded from Mexico and distributed in restaurants in five Midwestern states: Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia.
