Taylor Farms' Reckless Gamble with Public Health Taylor Farms has recalled its jalapeño products due to Salmonella contamination, but this latest move comes on the heels of a devastating Cyclospora outbreak linked to the company's Mexican grown iceberg lettuce.
The outbreak, which has already surpassed 22,723 cases this year alone, highlights a disturbing pattern: Taylor Farms' primary concern appears to be its bottom line rather than the safety of its consumers.
The cyclosporiasis outbreak has been a slow motion disaster for public health officials, who have struggled to keep pace with the rapidly spreading parasite.
