Taylor Farms de Mexico of Guanajuato, Mexico is
voluntarily removing all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico from the
U.S. market, because it has the potential to be contaminated with Cyclospora.
Most people infected with Cyclospora develop diarrhea, with
frequent bowel movements. Other common symptoms include loss of appetite,
weight loss, stomach cramps/pain, bloating, increased gas, nausea, and fatigue.
Vomiting, body aches, headache, and fever may be noted. Some people who are
infected with Cyclospora do not have any symptoms. If not
treated, the illness may lead to dehydration and severe complications that may
require higher levels of care. These complications may last from a few days to
a month or longer. Symptoms may seem to go away and then return one or more
times (relapse). Immunocompromised persons may experience more severe illness
of longer duration along with complications requiring close medical attention.
This action was prompted by the multistate Cyclospora outbreak https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/investigation-5-state-outbreakcyclospora-illnesses-iceberg-lettuce-july-2026.
We are actively removing the implicated products. 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 shredded iceberg product was distributed June 29th thru
July 16th in AL, AR, CT, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MO, MS,
NC, NH, NJ, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, and WI.
A complete list of affected products, lot codes, use-by
dates and instructions for returning or disposing of them is available here:
