Taylor Farms is a leading national supplier of lettuce. They should recall all their lettuce now. The fact they gave over millions to Trump certainly helps slow walk the recall. Cyclosporas and our heath is too important. The spread to 9 additional states is the responsibility of Trump and RFK.

Republicans are always telling us we don’t need regulations or money wasted on inspections because companies will police themselves. I say we ban Taylor Farms and make them go bankrupt. Isn’t that appropriate capitalistic policing?

NEW: As cyclosporiasis cases jumped, the company linked to the outbreak - Taylor Farms - effectively delayed a recall that mounted in consumer confusion. Gift link for @business www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Heads up: Taylor Farms lettuce is sold under these brand names: Marketside (sold at Walmart) Earthbound Farm (owned by Taylor Farms) Cross Valley Farms (owned by US Foods) Private labels for Target, Whole Foods (365), and Amazon Fresh. AVOID ALL OF THEM
