Your Guide to the Taylor Farms Cyclospora Recall: 6 Facts From the Source

When headlines connect iceberg lettuce with a Cyclospora outbreak, verified details are more useful than speculation. Taylor Farms has created a dedicated Cyclospora Information Hub, which the company says will be updated as additional information becomes available.

Below is a summary of the information currently provided there, including where to find the newest recall details.

1. Distribution was limited to a defined group of states

The Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub says the recalled shredded iceberg product was distributed from June 29 through July 16 in these states: 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 checking an individual product, the hub also provides a detailed table listing the affected brands, product descriptions, and applicable use-by dates.

2. Test results are being updated as information becomes available

As of August 5, 2026, the FDA had reported no confirmed positive Cyclospora product test results, according to the hub. Taylor Farms also states that it spends more than $200 million each year on food safety protocols that undergo independent auditing and verification.

The company says it intends to continue providing information transparently while the investigation remains underway.

3. The affected lettuce came from one specific region

According to the Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub, the recall is specifically tied to Taylor Farms lettuce sourced and processed at its central Mexico facility. Taylor Farms retail-branded products, including chopped kits and salad kits, are excluded from the recall, the hub states.

It also explains that products without "Product of Mexico" on the label were grown in either the U.S. or Canada and are not affected.

4. Taylor Farms added further precautionary measures

Beyond the recall itself, Taylor Farms says it voluntarily stopped all sourcing and production of iceberg lettuce from central Mexico. As of July 18, 2026, the company had also temporarily halted all production at the facility.

The Cyclospora Information Hub states that independent third-party experts were commissioned to perform a complete review of the facility's food safety processes. Taylor Farms also says it continues cooperating with the FDA, CDC, and state health authorities.

5. The company initiated the recall voluntarily

Taylor Farms announced the recall on July 17, 2026, according to its Cyclospora Information Hub. The company voluntarily recalled iceberg lettuce grown in central Mexico after the product was identified as a possible source associated with one of the recent Cyclospora outbreaks.

The hub states that Taylor Farms acted before an FDA requirement was issued. It also says the voluntary recall covered a wider scope than the particular lots identified through the FDA's traceback investigation.

6. Retail involvement was limited to a few products

Most of the recalled product went through foodservice channels rather than being sold on grocery shelves, the Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub explains. Only certain Marketside-brand products sold through Walmart were included at retail.

Those items 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.

According to the hub, all of those products have since been taken off store shelves.

Where can you find the newest recall details?

Because recall information and outbreak investigations can change as additional findings become available, Taylor Farms' own resources are the most direct places to check rather than depending on secondhand summaries:

• Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub : The company's primary resource for statements, FAQs, food safety commitments, and contact information concerning this outbreak.
• Taylor Farms Recall Page : A page maintained with current active recall information, including complete lists of impacted products, states, and use-by dates.

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