FDA Says Review of Taylor Farms Lettuce Shows Cyclospora Finding Was False Positive The US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) admission that a positive test result for cyclospora in Taylor Farms lettuce was a false alarm highlights imperfections in the food safety system.
The incident underscores both human error and the complexity of tracing contamination sources.
Taylor Fresh Foods initially issued a voluntary recall after the FDA's finding, which had already removed implicated lettuce from the market out of caution.
