paris martineau @paris.nyc · 4d One of the things that I'm ruminating on is: Yesterday, Taylor Farms said "No Taylor Farms-branded salads or kits" were linked to the outbreak. But today, that note is gone and some of the recalled products are listed under the brand acronym "TF" Is "TF" Taylor Farms? I'd sure love to know!

We now know slightly more: The recalled shredded lettuce also went to Jack in the Box locations in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Jack in the Box told its restaurants to remove the lettuce, and has replaced it w/ "product from an unaffected supply at an alternate domestic facility."
From the produce ordering I've done, I'd hazard a guess those are bulk lettuce products they sell as Taylor Farms cause all of those are 4-5 count 5lb bags of those lettuce blends.
Well since they seem to be unable to be totally upfront I will not buy anything that they have any kind of connection with.
Good info here⬇️ www.marlerblog.com/case-news/ta...
There's a previous recall at Kroger where salad bowls had lot codes starting with TF www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-aler...
Oh coolcoolcool cause I just ate the Ceasar Salad kit for lunch yesterday and today so here comes another panic attack.
This is just sitting on the shelf at a grocery store a few blocks from me, and I have no idea if this is safe. Earthbound is a Taylor Farms brand.
"kit" has a particular meaning where the dressing and crunchies are included in a little packet. None of these use iceberg; they use romaine. Cyclospora being a fomite, it's kind of important to know if these share any processing at all with the iceberg/romaine blends.
It reads to me like them being misleading, they say no Taylor Farms branded salads or kits, because the affected products are Taylor Farms branded bagged lettuce, not TF salads or kits, which is probably a difference that consumers don’t really care about.
Is the game that the Taylor Farms products are considered bagged lettuce and not salad or salad kits? Maybe we'll never know!
Yeah when I heard Taylor Farms claim none of their salad kits were linked, I figured it was false
You’ve probably noticed this already, but the FDA’s recall statement distinguishes between retail and food service customers. Based on the number of products affected, “MARK” might be Aramark and “TF” could be Tyson Foods. Have they been responsive? www.fda.gov/safety/recal...
