Lettuce is being recalled in 27 states because it may be contaminated with Cyclospora.
Taylor Farms de Mexico announced Friday it’s voluntarily removing all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico. This comes the day after the FDA determined that Taylor Farms provided the shredded iceberg lettuce used at Taco Bells linked to the Cyclospora outbreak that has sickened more than 1,600 people across five states.
Taylor Farms says it is “actively removing the implicated products” and has stopped “receiving product from the implicated lot.” Some of the recalled products were distributed in Pennsylvania.
