  • It's next level for a family owned company act like they have stock holders to please by cutting corners rather then doing the right thing.

  • I have not been following this very closely but it seems like the source of this cyclospora contamination has been very challenging to identify.

    Especially because it takes weeks before the infected start showing symptoms.

    Isn't it reasonable to update the official statement as new information emerges?

  • I went to restaurant last night and asked where the chicken was sourced from and their response was "it's not the usual place we get chicken, but it's US Farm Raised Hatched", but I misinterpreted the her answer as a distributor name but then I realized even if I had a name, I probably couldn't figure out past that whether or not these chickens were pasture raised. If food labels are law, why doesn't this apply to where restaurants source their ingredients?

  • It's worth noting that Taylor Farms consumer bagged salads are consistently marked, in the form of an alphanumeric code printed on the bag near the sell-by date.

    When this code begins with TF (like, say, the TFRB182A11B I had on a bag in my fridge last month), it's a Taylor Farms product.

    They control a huge percentage of this market. Their products can be hard to avoid, and are sold under a wide variety of different brand names. But again: They're all marked with TF.

    ---

    It's also worth noting that there's some brand names that are never products of Taylor Farms.

    Dole is the only example that I can find in stores near me (Ohio), but there may be others wherever you are. (Food distribution is often very regionalized.)
