Taylor Farms, which is based in Salinas and has a facility in central Mexico, was identified as a possible source of tainted iceberg lettuce connected to the summer outbreak of cyclosporiasis, The Washington Post reported, citing two individuals with knowledge of the investigation.
Taylor Farms, described on its website as a leading producer of salad kits, vegetable trays, cheese packs and other snack items, also supplies iceberg lettuce to Taco Bell — which investigators have linked to the diarrhea outbreak.
A statement from California Department of Public Health noted that a federal investigation into the outbreak involves shredded iceberg lettuce from Mexico served at Taco Bell locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia.
Taylor Farms emphasized that although the lettuce was sourced from a single "independent farm" in Mexico, it is recalling all of its iceberg lettuce products sourced from the region.
