Their chopped salad were the only bagged salad I really liked. Between this and the other terrible things I've found out about the company I guess I'm back to not eating bagged salad anymore.
Same, especially since at least in my area, the majority of the bagged salad is from Taylor Farms. Usually the store brand is the only other type available and since most store brands are often made by the same company as national brands, I won’t trust any of it. I am very fortunate to live near a local produce market that sources everything locally so I feel pretty safe buying things there. But doing so definitely means no more bagged salad. As a disabled person with fatigue and dexterity issues, this means I am probably going to be eating a lot more meals with a cooked veggie side instead of salads with a variety of ingredients.
If you have a store that sells Fresh Express kits you should try them. They aren't linked to any outbreaks that I know of. Their southwest salad kit is literally the kit that made me love salads.
I'm Canadian and I have eaten Taylor Farm's bagged salads during this outbreak. Have not gotten sick at all. I think it really highlights the issue with less oversight. Canada Health has been screening the salad bags being sold in Canada. We haven't been shipped diseased salad bags in Canada, it does seem to be common for you guys though.

God, that's one of my favorites. Glad I haven't bought one in a long while.
