FDA still focused on Taylor Farms lettuce as Cyclospora source despite retracted test

Summary by The San Antonio Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Yuki Noguchi, Texas Public Radio (TPR) - News · July 21, 2026 · 1 min read

The FDA says lettuce distributed by Taylor Fresh Foods and Taylor Farms de Mexico is still linked to the multistate outbreak of cyclosporiasis. But the source may be difficult to definitively trace.

Why this matters in The San Antonio

San Antonio residents who shop at local grocery stores or dine out may still be at risk of cyclosporiasis due to contaminated lettuce. The FDA's continued focus on Taylor Farms lettuce as a potential source of the outbreak is particularly relevant in Bexar County, where many restaurants and stores likely carry this brand. As the investigation unfolds, local health officials will be watching closely to see if any cases are reported in the San Antonio area. The fact that the source of the contamination may be difficult to definitively trace adds complexity to the situation, and local consumers may need to remain vigilant about the produce they purchase. With the summer months approaching, when salads and other lettuce-containing dishes are popular, the potential for further cases is a concern that local public health officials will need to address.
