Taylor Farms Cyclospora Recall: 6 Facts Straight From Those Who Issued It

Headlines linking an iceberg lettuce-related Cyclospora outbreak to Taylor Farms may prompt questions. For reliable details instead of speculation, Taylor Farms directs readers to its dedicated Cyclospora Information Hub.

The company says it will update that hub as further information becomes available. Below is a summary of the facts currently published there, plus the company’s resources for current recall information.

Retail Impact Was Narrow

Taylor Farms says the recalled lettuce was distributed mainly through foodservice, not sold on typical grocery shelves. The only retail products included were specified Marketside items available at Walmart.

Product	Best if Used By dates
12-oz and 24-oz Iceberg Salad	7/18/2026–8/3/2026
8-oz and 16-oz Shredded Lettuce	July 18–August 3, 2026

According to the Cyclospora Information Hub, every one of these products has been taken off store shelves.

Further Precautions Were Put in Place

As stated on the hub, Taylor Farms voluntarily stopped sourcing and producing all iceberg lettuce from central Mexico. Effective July 18, 2026, it also temporarily halted all operations at that particular facility.

The company reports that independent third-party specialists were engaged to perform a complete assessment of the facility’s food-safety practices. Taylor Farms also says it remains in contact with the FDA, CDC, and state health authorities.

The Company Initiated the Recall

Taylor Farms announced its voluntary recall on July 17, 2026, according to the information posted on its Cyclospora Information Hub. The action covered iceberg lettuce cultivated in central Mexico after the product was identified as a possible source associated with one of the recent Cyclospora outbreaks.

The hub says Taylor Farms acted before the FDA mandated a recall. It further states that the company’s recall extended beyond the individual lots identified through the FDA’s traceback investigation.

Distribution Covered Defined States

The Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub reports that recalled shredded iceberg lettuce was sent to the following states between June 29 and July 16: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.

For consumers seeking to confirm a particular product, the hub provides a detailed table listing impacted brands, product descriptions, and use-by dates.

Only One Sourcing Area Is Included

The recall applies only to Taylor Farms lettuce that was sourced and processed at its central Mexico facility, the company says. Taylor Farms retail-branded items, including chopped kits and salad kits, are excluded from the recall.

The hub also explains that products without “Product of Mexico” on their labels were grown in either the United States or Canada and are not affected.

New Testing Information Is Shared as Available

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

The company also states that it will keep communicating information transparently while the investigation continues.
