Taylor Fresh Foods Recalls Mexican Iceberg Lettuce Over Parasite Risk
Cyclospora-tainted shredded iceberg from central Mexico shipped nationwide for 17 days, landing on shelves and in kitchens across 27 states.
- 27 states received shipments of the shredded iceberg lettuce, retailers and food-service distributors alike.
- Cyclospora, a microscopic parasite, causes days of watery diarrhea, cramping and fatigue.
- Shipping ran 17 days, June 29 through July 16, before the FDA's recall notice.
Why it matters: A recall issued after 17 days of nationwide shipping is not prevention, it is a receipt of what already happened.
