FDA said yesterday it was a false positive
after taylor farms fave republicans a million dollars, of course.
in 2024, they had to recall another crop that had E coli which caused more severe disease then self-limiting diarrhea, and resulted in one death. E.coli strains(O15H7) that produces Shiga toxins is pretty dangerous. the crop was oNIONs, that was used by mcdonalds.
seems taylor farms is supplies a majority of the veggies you see in stores. alot of chains seem to sell taylor farm salads, and other vegetables.
The Taylor farms check cleared.
