FDA Rules Out Positive Test for Taylor Farms Lettuce Linked to Cyclospora
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The FDA announced that a sample of lettuce from Taylor Farms, which initially tested positive for Cyclospora linked to an ongoing outbreak, was a false positive. Taylor Fresh Foods had previously issued a voluntary recall of all iceberg lettuce from central Mexico due to the parasitic illness causing gastrointestinal symptoms. The FDA confirmed that laboratory experts reviewed the sample results and determined the initial finding was incorrect. As of Sunday, there are no confirmed positive results from products tested. Meanwhile, Taco Bell has temporarily removed potentially affected lettuce from its supply chain in several states, emphasizing shared responsibility for public health.
