Taylor Farms met White House before FDA backtracked on Cyclospora recall
Taylor Farms executives visited the White House and the FDA on July 16, just before the agency issued a voluntary recall of their Mexican‑grown lettuce linked to a nationwide Cyclospora outbreak. The next day the company called the FDA test a false positive, sparking suspicion that political clout was used to delay recall and showing how lobbying can jeopardize health response.
