Key takeaway The company said it’s “actively removing” the products, has suspended distribution of iceberg lettuce from Central Mexico to the United States and is no longer receiving products from the implicated lot.
Why this matters in The El Paso
The recall of iceberg lettuce by Taylor Farms due to potential cyclospora contamination has significant implications for El Paso consumers. As one of the 27 states affected by the recall, Texas residents are advised to discard any recalled lettuce immediately. The fact that Jack in the Box has confirmed the distribution of recalled lettuce to stores in Texas, including potentially in El Paso, means that local consumers need to be vigilant. El Pasoans who have purchased shredded iceberg lettuce recently should check the product descriptions and use-by dates to determine if they have the recalled product. The city's health department and local grocery stores should also be prepared to provide guidance and support to consumers who may have been affected by the recall. With the FDA indicating that more states may be added to the list, El Paso residents should remain informed and take necessary precautions to protect their health.
