FDA Declares Cyclospora Test on Taylor Farms Lettuce a False Positive, Investigation Continues
The FDA has announced that its initial finding of Cyclospora in Taylor Farms' lettuce was a false positive. The agency's re-evaluation of the sample led to this conclusion, although the recall of iceberg lettuce from central Mexico remains active. The recall affects products distributed to various food service operations, including Taco Bell, across multiple states. The FDA continues to investigate the outbreak, which has sickened thousands, to determine the true source of the Cyclospora contamination. The agency is working with Taylor Farms to ensure that any potentially contaminated products are removed from the market.
