Taylor Farms Complains to White House and FDA Over Inspection Process as Cyclospora Outbreak Sickens Thousands
Produce supplier Taylor Farms complained to White House and FDA officials earlier this month about the government's inspection process, according to a source familiar with the meeting, as Michigan reported a spike in cyclospora cases tied to the company's lettuce from Mexico.
Illnesses linked to the outbreak began on June 22 and onset dates continued through July 20, with at least 98 hospitalizations and no deaths reported. The cyclospora outbreak has sickened thousands in the US, drawing renewed attention to how fresh food moves through the country.
