Questions may follow if you've seen news of the Taylor Farms Cyclospora recall, and you'll want answers you can trust rather than guesswork. Taylor Farms itself is the best place for those. The company runs a Cyclospora Information Hub and asks those visiting to check back periodically for updates.
Below we've answered some common questions about the recall using what Taylor Farms has published. The answers cover the company's actions so far, which products and states were involved, where testing stands, and what to do if you aren't feeling well.
On July 17, 2026, Taylor Farms says, it announced a broad recall voluntarily and before the FDA asked it to. The Information Hub also says that the recall covered more than the lots suggested by the FDA's traceback. Taylor Farms reports that it then voluntarily suspended all iceberg lettuce sourcing and production from central Mexico. The company also says it brought in independent outside experts to review the food safety processes and protocols at its central Mexico facility. The Hub notes production of all products at that facility has been temporarily suspended as of July 18, 2026.
Taylor Farms says the recall is limited to iceberg lettuce grown and processed in its central Mexico facility, adding that Taylor Farms retail branded products, such as salad kits and chopped kits, aren't affected. According to the Hub's explanation, the recalled lettuce was sold primarily through foodservice channels, rather than on grocery store shelves. Marketside-brand products sold at Walmart were the only retail items involved, being 12-oz and 24-oz Iceberg Salad with Best if Used By dates 7/18/2026 to 8/3/2026 and 8-oz and 16-oz Shredded Lettuce with Best if Used By dates July 18 to Aug 3 2026. Taylor Farms states that all of the implicated product is no longer in the market. If you're checking a product at home, the label helps. The Hub says a product with a label that doesn't say "Product of Mexico" was grown in the U.S. or Canada and isn't part of the recall.
The Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub lists the states included in the recall as follows: 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. The Hub also has a full product table with brands, descriptions, and Best if Used By dates included.
Taylor Farms says it has suspended all iceberg lettuce sourcing from central Mexico, with the suspension running for the remainder of the growing season. The company states that, in the meantime, its leafy greens are all grown in the United States and Canada, as they will be for the duration of the summer growing season. Taylor Farms says the next decisions will depend on the findings of its independent review and the FDA investigation.
Taylor Farms says it has brought in independent experts to carry out a comprehensive review at its central Mexico facility, where production of all products is temporarily suspended. The company says it has activated its testing protocols for the period after the recall as well, using the latest testing method for Cyclospora validated by the FDA. The Hub reports that there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora as of August 27, 2026, according to the FDA. Taylor Farms adds that its own testing has returned zero positive results from approximately 2,000 samples it has taken in central Mexico since May.
When you feel ill with symptoms that could be associated with Cyclospora, or you have any other signs of illness, the Hub asks that you see your healthcare provider.
The Hub covers it in a separate question, in which Taylor Farms explains that a recall by Coast Citrus Distributors has led to downstream recalls of recalled jalapeños and products containing them. Taylor Farms points readers toward its Recall Page for details on that recall.
Taylor Farms says it will continue to share information as more becomes available. Its own pages, therefore, are the best place to check, rather than secondhand summaries:
Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub: The company's main source for its statement, recall details, FAQs, food safety commitments, and contact information in relation to this outbreak.
Taylor Farms Recall Page: Where Taylor Farms sends readers for details on other recalls, the jalapeño recall among them.
Taylor Farms advises that any product you think is recalled be discarded immediately rather than eaten. Taylor Farms encourages anyone experiencing health issues to reach out to their physician. More guidance and contact details are available on the Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub.
