Taylor Farms is pulling all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico from the U.S. market after federal investigators linked the produce to a multistate Cyclospora outbreak.
The company announced on Friday that it had voluntarily removed the lettuce after the Food and Drug Administration’s traceback investigation identified a single independent farm in central Mexico as the likely source of contamination.
Taylor Farms said the supplier represents less than 1 percent of the U.S. iceberg lettuce supply but that it had decided to remove all lettuce from the region indefinitely.
