Btw, I’m seeing a lot of misinformation relating to this new story…This statement from Taylor Farms, along with the “false positive” claim from the FDA, does *NOT* mean that we don’t know the source of the outbreak! The source of the outbreak is still Taylor Farms iceberg product from central Mexico, which we learned through interviews with sick patients and the traceback investigation. Here is the timeline: 1. FDA traceback was to a farm in central Mexico that produces 5-pound bags of shredded iceberg lettuce for the food service industry. 2. Taylor Farms, as a precaution, recalled ALL iceberg lettuce from central Mexico. 3. FDA claims it found a positive OUTSIDE of the scope of that recall. 4. FDA then claims that was a false positive. But even if it was a false positive, that still doesn’t change #1 and #2. A lot of folks tuning in late (or intermittently) to the story are skipping that part.
