Once news of the Taylor Farms Cyclospora recall reaches you, questions may follow, and the answers should come from a source you can trust, not guesswork. Taylor Farms itself is the best place to find them. The company runs a Cyclospora Information Hub and asks its visitors to check back from time to time for updates. Drawing on what Taylor Farms has published, we answer some common questions about the recall below. The answers explain what the company has done so far, which products and states were involved, where testing stands, and what to do if you're not feeling well. Taylor Farms says that it announced a broad recall on July 17, 2026, and calls this a voluntary decision made before the FDA asked it to. The Information Hub says the recall covered more than the lots suggested by the FDA's traceback, too. The company says it has voluntarily suspended all iceberg lettuce sourcing and production from central Mexico in the time since. It also says it has brought in independent outside experts to review the food safety processes and protocols at its central Mexico facility. At that facility, according to the Hub, production of all products has been temporarily suspended as of July 18, 2026. As Taylor Farms describes it, the recall is limited to iceberg lettuce grown and processed in its central Mexico facility. The company says Taylor Farms retail branded products, such as salad kits and chopped kits, aren't affected. The Hub states that the recalled lettuce was sold primarily through foodservice channels, rather than on grocery store shelves. Marketside-brand products sold at Walmart made up the only retail items involved, being 12-oz and 24-oz Iceberg Salad with Best if Used By dates 7/18/2026 to 8/3/2026 and 8-oz and 16-oz Shredded Lettuce with Best if Used By dates July 18 to Aug 3 2026. Taylor Farms says all implicated product is now no longer in the market. A product at home can be checked by its label. Per the Hub, a product whose label doesn't say "Product of Mexico" was grown in the U.S. or Canada and isn't part of the recall. The recall includes the following states, according to the list on the Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub: 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. The Hub also offers a full product table that shows brands, descriptions, and Best if Used By dates. For the remainder of the growing season, all iceberg lettuce sourcing from central Mexico is suspended, according to Taylor Farms. For the meantime, according to the company, all of its leafy greens are grown in the United States and Canada, as they will be for the duration of the summer growing season. Taylor Farms says decisions after that will depend on the findings of its independent review and the FDA investigation. Taylor Farms says it relies on the latest testing method for Cyclospora validated by the FDA, and that its testing protocols for the period after the recall have been activated. It also says it has brought independent experts in for a comprehensive review at its central Mexico facility, where production of all products is temporarily suspended. The Hub reports that, according to the FDA, as of August 27, 2026 there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora. Taylor Farms says its own testing, which includes approximately 2,000 samples taken in central Mexico since May, has returned zero positive results. The Hub asks that anyone feeling ill with symptoms that could be associated with Cyclospora, or with any other signs of illness, see their healthcare provider. Taylor Farms uses a separate question on the Hub to explain that a recall by Coast Citrus Distributors has led to downstream recalls of recalled jalapeños and products containing them. Details on that recall are on its Recall Page, the company says. Taylor Farms says it will continue to share information as more becomes available, which is why its own pages are the best place to check, not secondhand summaries: Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub: The company's main source for its statement, recall details, FAQs, food safety commitments, and contact information linked to this outbreak. Taylor Farms Recall Page: Taylor Farms refers readers to this page for details on other recalls, including the jalapeño recall. Taylor Farms advises that anyone who thinks they have a recalled product discard it immediately rather than eat it. Taylor Farms encourages you to contact your physician if you are experiencing health issues. Contact details and more guidance are available at the Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub.
