Produce Supplier Taylor Farms Linked to Multiple Outbreaks

An E. coli outbreak linked to onions has highlighted ongoing food safety challenges. Taylor Farms is a notable produce supplier implicated in this issue. This firm has also been associated with a previous cyclosporiasis outbreak tied to salad mix.

In a field located in Guanajuato, Mexico, workers packed lettuces for Taylor Farms. This was captured in a 2008 photo by Guillermo Arias from AP. On July 17, 2026, at 6:16 PM EDT, reports noted that Taylor Farms, responsible for supplying shredded lettuce to Taco Bell involved in a cyclosporiasis outbreak across at least five states, has a history of connections to similar outbreaks.
