Taylor Farms Halts Mexico Lettuce Sourcing During Cyclospora Season

Taylor Farms has suspended lettuce harvesting and processing operations in central Mexico during the May to August period, which the CDC identifies as the high-risk cyclosporiasis season. This sourcing halt represents a significant operational adjustment for the produce supplier and reflects industry-wide caution regarding foodborne pathogen outbreaks in leafy greens, with potential supply impacts for retailers and food service operators relying on Mexican lettuce during summer months.
