Food Safety Recall: Taylor Farms expanded its voluntary recall of shredded iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico, now covering 27 states including Ohio, after the FDA linked Cyclospora to a growing cyclosporiasis outbreak tied to lettuce served at Taco Bell in several Midwestern states. The company says it’s “actively removing” implicated product, stopping shipments from the implicated lot, and asking consumers to discard recalled items; Sysco has halted distribution and told customers to destroy affected inventory. Public Health & Testing: The FDA also reported a separate shredded-iceberg sample from Taylor Farms tested positive for Cyclospora but is not part of the current recall, with officials working to determine whether any of that lot remains in commerce or homes.
