So uhh. What are the odds they greased the palms of the FDA

Oooof PR should’ve spent more time on this. Starting with an “I told you so” and ending with “our thoughts are with the affected” will still leave a poor taste in people’s mouth regardless of if there’s a parasite in the lettuce. Bad optics under suspicious circumstances.

I don’t believe anything coming out of that government. They don’t give a shit, it’s all about money

I don’t understand this – surely they also have epidemiological links to Taylor Farms? Would they have called it just on one test result?

Literally who are we supposed to trust anymore… FDA, CDC and so many trusted government organizations are ruined and the credibility in the toilet. Because some ass hat was allowed in to destroy something his small brain couldn’t understand.
We pay the price, while the Epstein Class continues to erode our freedoms

I genuinely hope they go under. To have this much of a monopoly over our fresh produce while they’ve been quietly & deliberately making it more difficult to grow our own food should be a crime.

I wonder how much money this company has lost in sales over the last few weeks.
This is, for me, just another instance of feeling held hostage as an American by this fuckass administration. The people in charge ran on this platform, DODGE made ridiculous and nonsensical cuts to departments, and now ALL of us have to deal with it. Can’t even enjoy a fucking salad without it being a concern, jfc…

So Taylor Farms made another large donation to MAGA then? I won’t be buying their products anymore either way.
Did find this comment from another post interesting!
They donate to Trump and are MAGA. The “apology” was probably paid for.

anyone else with eating problems struggling to feel safe enough to consume food right now? 🙁 with so many recalls i have an irrational (rational?) fear of getting sick or worse
“Records obtained by the lawyer of the 9-year-old boy who nearly died from the E. coli outbreak showed that California-based Taylor Farms was reportedly behind the salads that sickened dozens.”

Lol they are blaming the incompetence of the fda…. Given what the fda is now makes sense
SilverRoseBlade on
So they paid the FDA off basically. Still not buying their bagged salads for a while.
The only mistake the FDA made was accepting bribe money from a known Trump donor.

The FDA? You mean the agency being run by the worst living Kennedy?!
Or is that the one being run by daytime televisions Dr Oz?
Or is that the one being run by a podcaster Jay Bhattacharia?
There’s so many assholes with zero experience or qualifications running important agencies right now….

I know what I ate that made me sick and it was one of their salad kits.

Isn’t Bruce Taylor super MAGA and has donated millions to them? Idk if I can trust this one

This is far from exonerating. In fact, it sounds like even more damning confirmation that you best not eat this lettuce. Good luck everyone.

Taylor Farms has a long history of recalls. They are an unsanitary farm. They are also a MAGA donor and this all comes across as the check cleared. I’ll use my own common sense as unfortunately we can’t trust these government agencies.

Guess they got Taylor Farms’ “donation”

All I’m picturing is that the ceo of Taylor Farms and the FDA commissioner had a meeting last week that went a lot like this
Taylor Farms gave $1 mil to Republicans 6 days after food recall standards were relaxed too.

Am I crazy? I feel like I saw articles about 10 days ago saying it was due to Taylor Farm’s lettuce, then it was “we don’t know the cause”, then it was the Taylor Farm’s lettuce, and now it’s not? I understand the FDA can’t be trusted right now but does anyone else remember the first time they blamed the lettuce or am I making that up?

Yeah, yall need new people. Until there is a confirm source(s) of this outbreak, I’m steering clear of a fresh and uncooked produce.
Ya I’m still not going to eat it, mainly bc it’s overpriced af lol.
FDA cant be trusted right now

So they did a voluntary recall, costing them money, time, and PR.. without doing any independent verification first?
That seems like really really bad executive decision making.
Or they paid off the FDA to say it was a “false positive” and try and save some face.
