Class I U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Taylor Farms de Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. Cross Valley Farms Lettuce Salad MIX 4/5# recall: Potential Cyclospora contamination

Recall published 2 months ago

Potential Cyclospora contamination.

The hazard: Microbial contamination

The problem here is microbial contamination, so the recall covers the production codes listed rather than the brand as a whole.

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. — The problem here is microbial contamination, so the recall covers the production codes listed rather than the brand as a whole.

  1. Stop eating it and keep it separate from other food.
  2. Bag and bin it, or return it to the store for a refund.
  3. Clean and sanitise the fridge shelf, container or surface it was stored on.
  4. Read the official notice for the organism named — the advice for Listeria, Salmonella and hepatitis A is not the same.

Refunds, and what else you can claim

The purchase price is the floor, not the ceiling. Where a recall caused you a real cost, say so.

  • Claim the refund at the store first; it is the fastest route and needs the least paperwork.
  • If you bought several packs over time, list them. Firms routinely settle for more than a single unit when a customer asks.
  • Medical costs, lost earnings or a spoiled event are not handled at the service desk. Write to the company contact on this page instead, with dates and documents.
  • Keep copies of everything you send. If a recall caused harm, that file is what any later claim rests on.
