Taylor Farms Cyclospora Recall: The 6 Facts, Sourced Directly

Reports about a Cyclospora outbreak involving iceberg lettuce have prompted many people to seek reliable details instead of relying on unverified coverage. Taylor Farms directs readers to its dedicated Cyclospora Information Hub, where it says new developments will be added as information is received.

The following summary reflects the information currently available on that hub, as well as the company’s guidance on finding updated recall information.

1. Precautionary Measures Extended Beyond the Recall

Taylor Farms says it stopped sourcing and producing iceberg lettuce from central Mexico voluntarily. Beginning July 18, 2026, it also temporarily paused all production at its central Mexico facility.

The company states that independent third-party specialists have been engaged to complete a comprehensive examination of the facility’s food-safety procedures. It further says it remains in contact with the FDA, CDC, and state health agencies.

2. The Scope Applies Only to Central Mexico Iceberg Lettuce

The Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub says the recall concerns lettuce obtained and processed at the company’s central Mexico operation. Products sold under the Taylor Farms retail brand, including chopped kits and salad kits, are not included.

According to the hub, any label that does not state “Product of Mexico” identifies lettuce grown in either the United States or Canada. Such products are not affected by the recall.

3. Distribution Was Confined to Identified States

Recalled shredded iceberg lettuce was shipped from June 29 through July 16 to AL, AR, CT, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MO, MS, NC, NH, NJ, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, WI, and WV, according to Taylor Farms.

The information hub also provides a detailed table for consumers checking individual products. That resource lists affected brands, product descriptions, and relevant use-by dates.

4. The Company Initiated a Voluntary Recall

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

The company says it acted before the FDA mandated a recall. It also says the recalled scope went beyond the particular lots identified through the FDA’s traceback investigation.

5. Product Testing Information Continues to Be Added

As of August 5, 2026, the FDA had not confirmed any positive Cyclospora test results in products, the hub states. Taylor Farms says it spends more than $200 million each year on food-safety protocols that undergo independent auditing and verification.

Taylor Farms also says it will continue providing information openly while the investigation moves forward.

6. Retail Availability Was Limited to Certain Walmart Items

Most recalled products moved through foodservice rather than being sold on grocery shelves, according to the Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub. The retail products involved were limited to specified Marketside items available at Walmart.

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

Taylor Farms says all of these products have been taken out of stores.

Finding Current Recall Details

Because recall information and outbreak investigations may change as additional details emerge, Taylor Farms recommends consulting its own resources instead of depending on secondary summaries.

• Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub : Taylor Farms’ primary location for statements, FAQs, contact information, food-safety commitments, and information specific to this outbreak.
• Taylor Farms Recall Page : A page kept updated with active recalls, including affected-product lists, states, and use-by dates.

Anyone who thinks they possess a recalled product should dispose of it, according to Taylor Farms. The company says refunds can be obtained at the place of purchase, and people who experience illness symptoms are encouraged to contact their physician. Further guidance and contact details are available through the Cyclospora Information Hub.
