FDA Retracts Cyclospora Test but Still Points to Taylor Farms' Mexican Facility

The FDA reported a positive Cyclospora test on Taylor Farms lettuce from Mexico, then retracted it as a false positive — yet still named Taylor Farms' Mexican facilities as the likely outbreak source. No confirmed product test exists. Taylor Farms disputes the link. The FDA is relying on supply-chain traceback, which traces the path products take, rather than lab confirmation.
