Taylor Farms Cyclospora Recall: The Common 2026 Questions, Answered

Seen news of the Taylor Farms Cyclospora recall? It is natural to have a few questions, and you will want answers you can trust instead of guesswork. Taylor Farms is the best source for those answers, through its Cyclospora Information Hub, which visitors are asked to check from time to time for updates.

Drawing on what Taylor Farms has published, the answers below take up some common questions about the recall: what the company has done so far, the products and states involved, where testing stands, and what to do if you aren't feeling well.

1. How has Taylor Farms acted on the recall?

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

2. What exactly is in the Taylor Farms recall?

Taylor Farms says the recall is confined to iceberg lettuce grown and processed in its central Mexico facility. Taylor Farms retail branded products, among them salad kits and chopped kits, aren't affected. Foodservice channels were primarily how the recalled lettuce was sold, the Hub explains, rather than grocery store shelves. The only retail items involved were Marketside-brand products sold at Walmart, made up of 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. Taylor Farms indicates that all implicated product is no longer in the market. If there's a product at home you're wondering about, the label can help. The Hub states that if it doesn't say "Product of Mexico," it was grown in the U.S. or Canada and isn't part of the recall.

3. What states fall under the iceberg lettuce recall?

According to the Taylor Farms Cyclospora Information Hub, these states are 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. There is also a full product table on the Hub with brands, descriptions, and Best if Used By dates.

4. What is the plan for Taylor Farms sourcing from central Mexico?

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

5. What does testing show so far?

There are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora as of August 27, 2026, the Hub reports, citing the FDA. Taylor Farms adds that its own testing has returned zero positive results across approximately 2,000 samples taken in central Mexico since May. Separately, Taylor Farms says it has brought in independent experts for a comprehensive review at its central Mexico facility, where production of all products is temporarily suspended. It has also activated testing protocols for the period after the recall, the company says, and it uses the latest testing method for Cyclospora validated by the FDA.

6. What do I do if I'm feeling unwell?

The Hub's advice is simple: see your healthcare provider if you're feeling ill with symptoms that could be associated with Cyclospora, or if you have any other signs of illness.

7. What should I know about the separate jalapeño recall?

The jalapeño recall has its own question on the Hub. Taylor Farms uses it to explain that downstream recalls of recalled jalapeños and products containing them have come about because of a recall by Coast Citrus Distributors. For details on that recall, the company's Recall Page is where Taylor Farms sends readers.
