Taylor Farms Cyclospora Recall Q&A: Common 2026 Questions Answered

News of the Taylor Farms Cyclospora recall may leave you with a few questions. Answers you can trust are better than guesswork, so it makes sense to go to Taylor Farms itself, the best place to find them. On its Cyclospora Information Hub, the company asks visitors to check back from time to time for updates.

We've collected answers to some common questions about the recall below, each based on what Taylor Farms has published. They explain what the company has done so far, what products and states were involved, the status of testing, and the next step if you aren't feeling well.

1. What steps has Taylor Farms taken since announcing the recall?

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

2. Which products are in the Taylor Farms recall?

The recall, Taylor Farms says, is limited to iceberg lettuce grown and processed in its central Mexico facility. Taylor Farms retail branded products, including its salad kits and chopped kits, are not affected. The Hub explains that foodservice channels were the primary outlet for the recalled lettuce, rather than grocery store shelves. The only retail items involved, according to the Hub, were these Marketside-brand products sold at Walmart: 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. According to the company, all implicated product is no longer in the market. If you have a product at home and are wondering about it, the label can help. According to the Hub, any product that doesn't say "Product of Mexico" on its label was grown in the U.S. or Canada and isn't part of the recall.

3. What states does the iceberg lettuce recall cover?

The recall includes the following states, according to the Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub: 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. A full product table with brands, descriptions, and Best if Used By dates is also on the Hub.

4. Is Taylor Farms resuming sourcing from central Mexico?

According to Taylor Farms, it has suspended all iceberg lettuce sourcing from central Mexico for the remainder of the growing season, and in the meantime all of its leafy greens are grown in the United States and Canada. The company states this will be the case for the duration of the summer growing season. Taylor Farms says that decisions about the future will depend on the findings of its independent review and the FDA investigation.

5. How is testing being handled?

Taylor Farms says it brought in independent experts for a comprehensive review at its central Mexico facility. Production of all products at the facility is temporarily suspended, the company adds. Taylor Farms also says it has activated testing protocols for the post-recall period and uses the latest testing method for Cyclospora validated by the FDA. The Hub reports that, per 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 been returned from its own testing, which covers approximately 2,000 samples taken in central Mexico since May.

6. Where should I turn if I think I'm ill?

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

7. Where can I find information on the jalapeño recall?

On the Hub, this topic has its own question, in which Taylor Farms says a recall by Coast Citrus Distributors has led to downstream recalls of recalled jalapeños and products containing them. Readers who want details on that recall are pointed to the company's Recall Page.
