FDA Maintains Taylor Farms Recall Amid Cyclospora Outbreak

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration confirmed that the voluntary recall initiated on July 17 by Taylor Farms remains in effect, reiterating the agency’s earlier warning to consumers. The recall, which covers a range of fresh produce distributed by the company, was prompted after laboratory testing linked the items to a nationwide outbreak of Cyclospora cayetanensis, a parasite that can cause prolonged gastrointestinal illness.

Health officials continue to investigate the source of the contamination, noting that Taylor Farms has been identified as a supplier connected to the ongoing Cyclospora outbreak that has affected multiple states. The FDA advises anyone who may have purchased the recalled products to discard them or return them to the point of sale and to seek medical attention if symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramping, or fever develop. The agency will monitor the situation and provide updates as further information becomes available.
