FDA clears Taylor Farms lettuce, but investigation stays open
Original headline: “Taylor Farms lettuce didn’t contain parasite behind diarrhea outbreak, FDA says”
Why this matters
The FDA walked back its earlier finding that Taylor Farms lettuce contained a parasite, calling it a false positive. That sounds like good news, but the supplier is still under active investigation and still at the center of an ongoing diarrhea outbreak. For indie operators, the risk window is not closed. Any restaurant still holding Taylor Farms product under a voluntary pull should get written confirmation from their distributor before putting it back on the line.
What to do
Confirm in writing with your produce distributor that Taylor Farms product is cleared for service before returning it to your menu.
