Class I U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Taylor Farms Blend Lett/ROM Blend With BAG 4/5# Iceberg recall: Potential Cyclospora contamination

Recall published 2 months ago

Potential Cyclospora contamination.

The hazard: Microbial contamination

A micro-organism that should not be in this product was found in it, which is why the batch is being pulled rather than quietly reworked.

What the notice says: Potential Cyclospora contamination.

Why it matters: The product was found, or is suspected, to carry a harmful micro-organism. The agency notice names the specific organism and that detail matters, because the illness it causes and the people most at risk differ from one to the next.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

Most foodborne infections cause stomach cramps, diarrhoea, nausea and sometimes fever, starting anywhere from hours to weeks after exposure depending on the organism. See a doctor for a high fever, bloody diarrhoea, vomiting that stops you keeping liquids down, diarrhoea lasting more than three days, or signs of dehydration. Infants, pregnant people, adults over 65 and anyone immunocompromised should seek advice earlier.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

What to do about Contamination

Taylor Farms de Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. — A micro-organism that should not be in this product was found in it, which is why the batch is being pulled rather than quietly reworked.

  1. Stop eating it and keep it separate from other food.
  2. Read the official notice for the organism named — the advice for Listeria, Salmonella and hepatitis A is not the same.
  3. If anyone who ate it is unwell, mention the recall and the date by name when you call a clinician.
  4. Bag and bin it, or return it to the store for a refund.

How to get your money back

Food recalls carry a full refund, and in the United States you usually do not need the receipt or the packaging.

  • Take the product, or your photo of the label, to the customer service desk of the store where you bought it. Nearly every national grocer refunds recalled food on the spot.
  • Bought it online? Open the order in your account and use the refund option; marketplace sellers are required to honour a federal recall.
  • If the store refuses, contact the recalling company using the details on this page. The firm, not the shop, carries the cost of a recall.
  • If you have a loyalty card, the retailer can look the purchase up in your history — Kroger, Costco and Walmart all do this routinely.
