So basically these guys are out there taking dumps in the field where the food is being grown. Honestly does not surprise me.
@
I recognize the packaging, so I've had this brand several times in the past. Apparently they've had the problem of making people sick like this before.
@
Why is the recall voluntary?

Wow so that many people eat Taco Bell??? I’ve never ate there in my 64 years. And now never will!

Yes, I got sick, and I do eat Taylor Farm's salads. No wonder why I have been having diarrhea so badly lately. And, it's explosive type too. It's not normal type of diarrhea.
@
I never thought the lettuce at taco bell would be the food causing explosive diarrhea 😂
@
You forgot Kroger also sells Taylor Farms lettuce, too, and supplies from them for their store brand. Taco Bell is constantly cross-contaminated, the line gets messy, so honestly don't feel out of the woods not ordering lettuce. Symptoms take 1-2 weeks.
@
Photo of kale in the thumbnail when the issue is lettuce is sloppy reporting.
@
That's strange. I live in Mexico and there has been no cases here. Oh, in they missed the fact that lettuce goes through a California plant for shredded, not a "plant nearby". But, they aren't being investigated. The only restaurant that gets this lettuce is Taco Bell? No! And, the FDA has NOT confirmed that they are source. Unbelievable!
@
I will be avoiding Taylor farms like the plague from now on

Perhaps treating the people who harvests your crops well would help?
@
If it is true that the affected Taylor Farms plants are based in Mexico: this is a Taylor Farms thing, not a Mexico thing.

If it were a Mexico thing then Mexico would also have an outbreak instead of publishing a travel advisory for their population that visiting the US is currently a health hazard.
@
Wait! They said that prepacked salad was affected. They need to make up their mind

Taylor Farms should clean up their act and stop making people sick. So nasty!
@
Who's getting all the profits at the top of Taylor Farms? They need to pay for all of the people's hospital bills who got sick out of their own pockets!
@
Finally😮 a news report that mentions that many restaurants receive lettuce from Taylor foods, but I wish they would have named them, instead of just putting Taco Bell out there like everybody eats that stuff, they don't even taste like real tacos
@
You can't even trust CBS to get this right, the thumbnail shows pictures of chopped kale which has nothing to do with the outbreak!
@
The reason they say that water isn't enough is because the food is grown in fecal water. Food for thought

Wasn't Taylor Farms responsible for other outbreaks due to contaminated produce? I seem to recall that they were ... This is a huge reason I NEVER use pre-processed fresh produce of any kind; it's just not worth it!
@
Iceberg lettuce is being recalled? So why are you showing kale
