Episode Details

A major cyclosporiasis outbreak is tying back to Taylor Farms, the giant bagged salad producer, despite the FDA initially calling its findings a false positive. The company insists evidence strongly links it to the outbreak and urges consumers to avoid its products. This isn’t the first time — earlier this year, the FDA pointed to a Taylor Farms facility in Mexico, last inspected in 2019. Complicating matters further, Taylor Farms and its CEO have donated millions to conservative political groups, including Trump-aligned PACs — raising eyebrows amid FDA staff cuts under the Trump administration. The outbreak, the FDA’s investigation, and the political ties are all tangled together, making this more than just a food safety scare.
