What People Ask About the Taylor Farms Cyclospora Recall: Common 2026 Questions

People who have seen news about the Taylor Farms Cyclospora recall may have questions, and they want answers they can trust, not guesswork. The best place to get those answers is Taylor Farms itself. The company runs a Cyclospora Information Hub and asks visitors to drop back in from time to time for updates.

The answers here, based on what Taylor Farms has published, address some common questions about the recall. They cover what the company has done so far, which products and states were involved, where testing stands, and what to do if you're not feeling well.

1. What has Taylor Farms done since announcing the recall?

Taylor Farms says it announced a broad recall on July 17, 2026, voluntarily, and that it did so before the FDA asked it to. The Information Hub adds that the recall went beyond the lots suggested by the FDA's traceback. The company says it has since gone further, voluntarily suspending all iceberg lettuce sourcing and production from central Mexico. Taylor Farms says it also brought in independent outside experts tasked with a review of the food safety processes and protocols at its central Mexico facility. At that facility, the Hub states, the production of all products has been temporarily suspended as of July 18, 2026.

2. What products were included in the Taylor Farms recall?

The recall, Taylor Farms says, is limited to iceberg lettuce grown and processed in its central Mexico facility, and Taylor Farms retail branded products, including salad kits and chopped kits, are not affected by it. As explained on the Hub, the recalled lettuce was sold primarily through foodservice channels rather than through grocery store shelves. Marketside-brand products sold at Walmart were the only retail items involved. These covered 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 says that all implicated product is no longer in the market, by its account. Check the label if you have a product at home and you're not sure about it. The Hub says that a product without "Product of Mexico" on the label was grown in the U.S. or Canada and isn't part of the recall.

3. What states were part of the iceberg lettuce recall list?

The Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub includes these states in its list for the recall: 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. Brands, descriptions, and Best if Used By dates are listed on the Hub in a full product table.

4. Will Taylor Farms be sourcing from central Mexico again?

Taylor Farms says all iceberg lettuce sourcing from central Mexico is suspended for the rest of the growing season. In the meantime, all of the company's leafy greens are grown in the United States and Canada, it states, and will be for the duration of the summer growing season. Any decisions on next steps will depend on the findings of its independent review and the FDA investigation, Taylor Farms says.

5. What testing is being conducted?

Taylor Farms says independent experts it brought in are conducting a comprehensive review at its central Mexico facility, and that production of all products there is temporarily suspended. The company says it has also activated its testing protocols for the period after the recall, and that it uses the latest testing method for Cyclospora validated by the FDA. Per the Hub, the FDA reports that there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora as of August 27, 2026. Taylor Farms adds that its own testing has taken approximately 2,000 samples in central Mexico since May, with zero positive results.

6. What should I do if I'm sick?

The Hub asks that you see your healthcare provider if you're feeling ill with symptoms that could be associated with Cyclospora, or with any other signs of illness.

7. What about the recall involving jalapeños?

Taylor Farms answers this in a separate question on the Hub, which explains that a recall by Coast Citrus Distributors has led to downstream recalls of recalled jalapeños and products containing them. The company sends readers who want details on that recall to its Recall Page.
