Taylor Farms Cyclospora Recall: 6 Facts, Reported Straight From the Source
News reports about a Cyclospora outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce can make it difficult to separate confirmed details from speculation. For current information, Taylor Farms directs readers to its dedicated Cyclospora Information Hub.
The company says that page will be updated as further details are available. The following information reflects what Taylor Farms has currently published, along with its guidance on finding recall updates.
1. Taylor Farms Posts Testing Information as It Becomes Available
As of August 5, 2026, the FDA had not confirmed any positive Cyclospora test results from products, according to the Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub. Taylor Farms says it will continue to provide information openly while the investigation continues.
The company also states that it spends more than $200 million each year on food safety procedures. Those protocols are independently audited and verified.
2. The Recall Covers Iceberg Lettuce From a Single Area
Taylor Farms says the recall concerns lettuce that was sourced and processed at its central Mexico facility. Its Cyclospora Information Hub identifies that location as the specific origin connected with the recalled product.
Retail products carrying the Taylor Farms name, including salad kits and chopped kits, are not included, according to the hub. It also states that products without the words “Product of Mexico” on their labels were grown in the United States or Canada and are unaffected.
3. Production and Sourcing Were Suspended as a Precaution
Taylor Farms voluntarily stopped sourcing and producing iceberg lettuce from central Mexico. It also temporarily halted all production at the central Mexico facility beginning July 18, 2026.
In addition, the company says it hired independent third-party specialists to perform a comprehensive examination of food safety practices at that facility. Taylor Farms continues to work with the FDA, CDC, and state health agencies.
4. Retail Availability Was Limited to Certain Walmart Products
Most of the recalled product moved through foodservice distribution rather than being sold on grocery shelves, according to the Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub. The retail portion involved only selected Marketside products available at Walmart.
Those products were 12-oz and 24-oz Iceberg Salad with Best if Used By dates from 7/18/2026 through 8/3/2026. The recalled retail list also included 8-oz and 16-oz Shredded Lettuce with Best if Used By dates of July 18 through August 3, 2026.
Taylor Farms states that all of those retail products have been taken off store shelves.
5. Distribution Reached Identified States Between Late June and Mid-July
The recalled shredded iceberg lettuce was distributed from June 29 through July 16, according to Taylor Farms. It reached 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, WI, and WV.
The company’s hub provides a detailed table for checking particular products. That table includes affected brands, product descriptions, and use-by dates.
6. The Company Announced a Voluntary Recall Before an FDA Requirement
Taylor Farms announced its recall on July 17, 2026. The company voluntarily recalled iceberg lettuce grown in central Mexico after the product was identified as a possible source connected to one of the recent Cyclospora outbreaks.
According to the Cyclospora Information Hub, the action occurred before the FDA required a recall. Taylor Farms also says its recall covered more products than the particular lots identified through the FDA’s traceback investigation.
Finding the Most Current Recall Details
Because recall information and outbreak investigations may change as new details emerge, Taylor Farms recommends relying on its own pages instead of secondhand summaries. The Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub serves as the company’s central location for statements, FAQs, food safety commitments, and contact information related to this outbreak.
Its Taylor Farms Recall Page is maintained with active recall information, including complete lists of affected products, states, and use-by dates. Anyone who believes they have recalled product should discard it, and refunds are available at the place of purchase. Taylor Farms encourages people experiencing illness symptoms to contact their physician and directs readers to the Cyclospora Information Hub for contact information and additional guidance.
