Lettuce Maker Asked White House to Pause Recall Notice

Taylor Farms called the Trump White House seeking to delay a recall notice tied to a cyclospora outbreak — an illness caused by a parasite in food — now reaching 1,947 cases across at least nine states, the Wall Street Journal reported July 25, 2026. The recall of iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico, shipped to 27 states, remains in place based on CDC disease-tracking and supply-tracing evidence.
