FDA has concluded its investigation, which follows CDC declaring the outbreak over on September 11, 2026. Our facility remains closed in central Mexico as we work with our research team to implement enhanced safety protocols from the field to the facility.

The independent grower where a positive sample was found is no longer part of our supplier program. The sample FDA referenced came from discharged waste and sewer water outside of our processing facility. The sample was taken over three weeks after production was suspended and wastewater clears our site within 24 hours. As FDA noted in its report, there is currently not enough evidence to conclusively determine how contamination occurred or how results for these samples relate to ongoing genotyping of clinical specimens.

We remain concerned for the people and families impacted by this outbreak. Millions of families rely on the safety of Taylor Farms produce and we take that responsibility seriously. We know trust is earned by what we do, and we will continue to learn, improve, and take action to keep our food fresh and safe.
