Taylor Farms, one of the nation’s largest suppliers of fresh produce and vegetables to restaurants and retailers, has initiated a widespread recall affecting lettuce products distributed across 27 states. The action comes in response to confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis linked to consumption of the company’s contaminated produce.
Cyclosporiasis is a parasitic infection transmitted through contaminated food or water that causes gastrointestinal illness in affected consumers. Health officials have been tracking cases connected to Taylor Farms products as part of an active outbreak investigation.
The recall underscores ongoing concerns about produce safety within the supply chain and the vulnerability of fresh vegetables to parasitic contamination during growing, harvesting, or processing stages. Consumers who purchased affected lettuce products are advised to check packaging for recall details and dispose of any potentially contaminated items.
Taylor Farms, which serves both foodservice operations and direct consumers, has cooperated with health authorities to identify and contain the source of contamination. Additional details regarding specific product codes and distribution dates remain under investigation by federal and state health agencies.
