Walmart pulls Taylor Farms salads amid widespread cyclosporiasis recall

Walmart has removed four Marketside-brand bagged iceberg lettuce salads manufactured by Taylor Farms due to a cyclosporiasis outbreak.

The outbreak, linked to a parasite, has affected people across 34 states, with Michigan reporting a high number of cases. Taylor Farms is recalling all iceberg lettuce due to potential contamination and is cooperating with investigations in both Mexico and the United States. AI
