Taylor Farms Releases FULL RECALL List of Lettuce Linked to Cyclosporiasis Outbreak

Large-scale produce supplier Taylor Farms is recalling iceberg lettuce that could possibly be contaminated with cyclospora — a parasite that causes horrible gastrointestinal issues.

As you have probably heard by now, hundreds of people across the nation have fallen ill from this parasite. Its most common symptom is “explosive diarrhea.”

The lettuce believed to have started this outbreak was sold in 27 states at major stores and restaurants, including Taco Bell.

CBS News covered the story:

The infected lettuce is being pulled from retailers, but now might be a good time to see if you have any in your refrigerator.

Taylor Farms has just released a list of all the recalled lettuce items, which include various bagged lettuce blends and salad mixes.

Here’s the full recall list, via the Taylor Farms website:





The FDA believes that Taylor Farms lettuce grown in Central Mexico is the only affected product.

If you have any, then you should throw it out immediately (unless you’re desperate enough to want to shed those last five pounds, I guess…)

The New York Post has more:

Consumers who have purchased the recalled iceberg lettuce should discard it immediately.

Full refunds are also available at the location of purchase, according to the company.

“We are actively removing the implicated products,” said the recall notice on the Taylor Farms site. “The company has stopped receiving product from the implicated lot, suspended distribution of the iceberg lettuce from Central Mexico, notified our customers, and we are continuing to work with the FDA, CDC, and state authorities.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday the outbreak has been linked to shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia.

A Food and Drug Administration traceback investigation “identified convergence on a single supplier, Taylor Farms de Mexico, that provided shredded iceberg lettuce used by Taco Bell locations where sick people ate before becoming ill,” the agency said.

Taco Bell confirmed Thursday it has “completed removal of affected Taylor Farms lettuce from our restaurants.”
