The Taylor Farms Cyclospora Recall, in 6 Facts From the Source

With headlines tying iceberg lettuce to a Cyclospora outbreak, confirmed information is more useful than speculation. Taylor Farms has created a dedicated Cyclospora Information Hub that serves as the company's direct source of information, and it says the page will be updated as additional details become available.

Below are six facts currently provided there, plus information on where to find the newest recall updates.

1. Distribution covered a defined group of states

Taylor Farms' Cyclospora Information Hub says the recalled shredded iceberg lettuce was shipped from June 29 through July 16 to 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.

For people trying to identify a particular product, the hub also provides a detailed table listing affected brands, product descriptions, and use-by dates.

2. The recall concerns iceberg lettuce from a single sourcing area

According to the Cyclospora Information Hub, the recall is specifically limited to Taylor Farms lettuce that came from and was processed at its central Mexico facility. Taylor Farms retail-branded items, including chopped kits and salad kits, are excluded from the recall.

The company also states that products without "Product of Mexico" on their labels were grown in the U.S. or Canada and are therefore not affected.

3. Product-testing information continues to be updated

As of August 5, 2026, the FDA had reported no confirmed positive Cyclospora product test results, according to the hub. Taylor Farms also says it spends more than $200 million each year on independently audited and verified food safety protocols.

The company states that it intends to keep providing information transparently while the investigation continues.

4. The company initiated the recall before it was required

Taylor Farms says the recall began voluntarily on July 17, 2026. Iceberg lettuce grown in central Mexico was recalled after being identified as a potential source associated with one of the recent Cyclospora outbreaks.

According to the company's hub, Taylor Farms acted before an FDA-mandated recall was issued. It also says the voluntary action covered more product than the particular lots identified through the FDA's traceback investigation.

5. Taylor Farms also halted sourcing and production as a precaution

Beyond recalling product, Taylor Farms says it voluntarily stopped all sourcing and production of iceberg lettuce from central Mexico. As of July 18, 2026, all production at that facility had also been temporarily suspended.

The company states that independent third-party specialists have been commissioned to perform a comprehensive review of the facility's food safety processes. Taylor Farms also says it remains engaged with the FDA, CDC, and state health authorities.

6. Retail exposure involved only a limited set of products

The Cyclospora Information Hub says most of the recalled lettuce went through foodservice channels rather than being sold on grocery store shelves. At retail, the affected items were limited to certain Marketside products sold 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, along with 8-oz and 16-oz Shredded Lettuce carrying Best if Used By dates from July 18 through August 3, 2026. Taylor Farms says all of these products have now been taken off store shelves.

Where to check for current recall details

Outbreak investigations can develop over time, and recall information may change as additional findings become available. For that reason, Taylor Farms' own resources provide the most direct place to check updates rather than depending on secondhand summaries:

• Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub : the company's main page for statements, FAQs, food safety commitments, and contact information concerning this outbreak.
• Taylor Farms Recall Page : an updated source for active recalls, including complete lists of affected products, states, and use-by dates.

Taylor Farms advises anyone who believes they have a recalled product to throw it away and says refunds are available from the place where it was purchased. People who experience symptoms of illness are encouraged to contact their physician. Additional guidance and contact information are available through the Cyclospora Information Hub.
