Taylor Farms Cyclospora Recall: Common 2026 Questions, Simply Answered

Having seen news about the Taylor Farms Cyclospora recall, you might have some questions, and you will want them answered with information you can trust, not guesswork. Taylor Farms is the best place to find it. The company has a Cyclospora Information Hub and asks visitors to check it again from time to time for updates.

Below, based on information Taylor Farms has published, are answers to some common questions about the recall. You'll find out what the company has done so far, which products and states were involved, where testing stands, and what to do if you're unwell.

1. What has Taylor Farms already done?

Taylor Farms says it voluntarily made the decision to announce a broad recall on July 17, 2026, before the FDA asked it to. The recall covered more than the lots suggested by the FDA's traceback, the Information Hub explains. Taylor Farms says it has since voluntarily suspended all iceberg lettuce sourcing and production from central Mexico, and the company also brought in independent outside experts to review the food safety processes and protocols at its central Mexico facility. Production of all products at that facility has, according to the Hub, been temporarily suspended as of July 18, 2026.

2. Which products belong to the Taylor Farms recall?

Taylor Farms has confined the recall, it says, to iceberg lettuce grown and processed in its central Mexico facility. Salad kits, chopped kits, and other Taylor Farms retail branded products are not affected, the company says. The Hub explains that the recalled lettuce reached buyers primarily through foodservice channels rather than grocery store shelves. Only Marketside-brand products sold at Walmart were involved among retail items: 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. As Taylor Farms states, all implicated product is no longer in the market. Use the label to check a product at home. If the label doesn't say "Product of Mexico," the Hub explains, it was grown in the U.S. or Canada and isn't part of the recall.

3. What states appear on the iceberg lettuce recall list?

The Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub lists these as the states included in 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. The Hub's full product table provides brands, descriptions, and Best if Used By dates.

4. Will Taylor Farms resume sourcing from central Mexico later?

All iceberg lettuce sourcing from central Mexico has been suspended for the remainder of the growing season, Taylor Farms states. Meanwhile, the company says all of its leafy greens are grown in the United States and Canada, and it says they will be for the duration of the summer growing season. Taylor Farms says the findings of its independent review and the FDA investigation will be what its decisions depend on.

5. What testing work has been done?

Taylor Farms reports that it has brought in independent experts to conduct a comprehensive review at its central Mexico facility. That site currently has production of all products temporarily suspended. Taylor Farms also states that its testing protocols for the period after the recall have been activated and that it uses the latest testing method for Cyclospora validated by the FDA. The Hub reports that, according to the FDA, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora as of August 27, 2026. Taylor Farms adds that zero positive results have come from its own testing of approximately 2,000 samples taken in central Mexico since May.

6. What if I'm feeling ill?

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

7. Where can I read about the jalapeño recall?

Taylor Farms covers it in a separate question on the Hub, explaining that a recall by Coast Citrus Distributors has led to downstream recalls of recalled jalapeños and products containing them. For details on that recall, readers can go to the company's Recall Page, where Taylor Farms directs them.
