What You Need to Know About the Taylor Farms Cyclospora Recall: 6 Facts From the Source

Headlines linking an iceberg lettuce supply to a Cyclospora outbreak may leave people seeking dependable details instead of speculation. Taylor Farms directs consumers to its dedicated Cyclospora Information Hub for that information.

The company says it will update the hub as additional details are available. Below is a summary of the information currently published there, as well as the company’s sources for current recall developments.

1. Extra precautionary measures have been implemented by Taylor Farms

Taylor Farms says it voluntarily halted all central Mexico iceberg lettuce sourcing and production. As of July 18, 2026, it had also temporarily stopped every production activity at that facility.

According to the Cyclospora Information Hub, the company hired independent third-party specialists to perform a comprehensive examination of the facility’s food-safety procedures. It also says it remains in contact with the FDA, CDC, and state health agencies.

2. The recall covers iceberg lettuce from a single area

The Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub says the recall concerns lettuce handled and sourced through the company’s central Mexico facility. It does not extend to Taylor Farms retail-branded products, including chopped kits and salad kits.

The hub further explains that labels not stating “Product of Mexico” identify products grown in either the United States or Canada. Those products are not included in the recall.

3. Distribution was limited to an identified group of states

Between June 29 and July 16, recalled shredded iceberg lettuce was sent to a specific set of states, according to the Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub. Those states were Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.

For consumers checking a particular item, the hub provides a detailed table listing affected brands, product descriptions, and use-by dates.

4. Taylor Farms chose to initiate the recall

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

The hub says Taylor Farms acted before an FDA requirement was issued. It also states that the company’s recall covered more products than the particular lots identified through the FDA traceback investigation.

5. Test information is being shared as it becomes available

As of August 5, 2026, the FDA had reported no confirmed positive product tests for Cyclospora, according to the hub. Taylor Farms says it will continue providing information openly while the investigation continues.

The company also states that it spends more than $200 million each year on independently audited and verified food-safety protocols.

6. Retail availability was limited to a few products

Most recalled product went through foodservice distribution rather than being sold on grocery shelves, the Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub explains. The retail products involved were limited to selected Marketside items sold by Walmart.

They included 12-oz and 24-oz Iceberg Salad products with “Best if Used By” dates from 7/18/2026 through 8/3/2026. Also included were 8-oz and 16-oz Shredded Lettuce products with “Best if Used By” dates of July 18 through August 3, 2026.

According to the hub, all of the affected retail product has been taken out of stores.
