News of the Taylor Farms Cyclospora recall can leave you with questions, and guesswork is no substitute for answers you can trust. Taylor Farms is the best place to find them, through the Cyclospora Information Hub it runs. The company asks visitors to check the Hub from time to time for updates.
In the answers below, we cover some common questions about the recall, using what Taylor Farms has published. The topics include what the company has done so far, which products and states were involved, where testing stands, and the next step if you are not feeling well.
Taylor Farms says it took the voluntary step of announcing a broad recall on July 17, 2026, before the FDA asked it to. The Information Hub explains that the recall covered more than the lots suggested by the FDA's traceback. Taylor Farms reports it has since voluntarily suspended all iceberg lettuce sourcing and production from central Mexico. Independent outside experts have been brought in, according to the company, to review the food safety processes and protocols at its central Mexico facility. The Hub states that production of all products has been temporarily suspended at that facility as of July 18, 2026.
Iceberg lettuce grown and processed in its central Mexico facility is all the recall covers, Taylor Farms says. Taylor Farms retail branded products are not affected, including salad kits and chopped kits. The Hub says the recalled lettuce was primarily sold through foodservice channels, not on grocery store shelves. Only Marketside-brand products sold at Walmart were involved at the retail level. They were the 12-oz and 24-oz Iceberg Salad with Best if Used By dates 7/18/2026 to 8/3/2026 and the 8-oz and 16-oz Shredded Lettuce with Best if Used By dates July 18 to Aug 3 2026. Taylor Farms affirms all implicated product is no longer in the market. Have a product at home you're wondering about? The Hub suggests checking the label: if it doesn't say "Product of Mexico," it was grown in the U.S. or Canada and isn't part of the recall.
The Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub lists the recall as including these states: 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's full product table gives brands, descriptions, and Best if Used By dates as well.
Taylor Farms says the decisions on what comes next will depend on the findings of its independent review and the FDA investigation. For the remainder of the growing season, the company says, it has suspended all iceberg lettuce sourcing from central Mexico. Taylor Farms states that, while the suspension is in place, all of its leafy greens are grown in the United States and Canada, as they will be for the duration of the summer growing season.
Taylor Farms says it uses the latest testing method for Cyclospora validated by the FDA and has activated its testing protocols for the period after the recall. It has also brought in independent experts for a comprehensive review at its central Mexico facility, where production of all products is temporarily suspended. The Hub reports the FDA's statement that there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora as of August 27, 2026. Approximately 2,000 samples taken in central Mexico since May have been part of the company's own testing, and Taylor Farms adds that they returned zero positive results.
Anyone feeling ill with symptoms that could be associated with Cyclospora, or with any other signs of illness, should see their healthcare provider, the Hub asks.
Taylor Farms covers the jalapeño recall in a separate question on the Hub. It explains there that a recall by Coast Citrus Distributors has led to downstream recalls of recalled jalapeños and products containing them. For details on that recall, Taylor Farms points readers to its Recall Page.
