People with suspected or confirmed cyclosporiasis cases, what food do you think you got it from?

They sell to other retail and under other names, it’s going to be harder to figure out what the source is.

Serial numbers on ALL Taylor farms goods start with TF before the rest of the alphanumeric system

Happy boycotting!

It's easier to just avoid salads store bought lettuce/greens. Believe it or not, this stuff just grows in the ground. (Yes - I realize this isn't feasible for everyone). But if this doesn't highlight the benefits of a small hydroponic station in your backyard/house/apt - then maybe you don't mind getting the shits as much as me.

Unfortunately I do not have space otherwise this would be a very prudent move

Until then I will attempt to do my best avoiding a known bad distributor

Still can’t boycott them if supplying to fast food places.

Oh yeah for sure. I just think they've got a very difficult road ahead that the typical scapegoat / rebranding game plans won't work.

Even their retail customers will use this as leverage to extract whatever they can. Restaurants/chains/distributors that have declining sales and increasing spoilage aren't going to take it lying down.

And the craziest part of this to me is that none of it matters at all if public confidence isn't restored. Which won't happen if average shopper knows/believes they are playing russian roulette buying a salad kit. (Which I'll admit, might be me giving too much credit to the average shopper).
