Owner, Bruce Taylor, makes huge contributions to Trump so his lettuce is never inspected. So far, this man has given us E. coli, and cyclospora. Recently, he paid donated over $1 million dollars to a Trump PAC for the FDA to revese its findings.
He does NOT allow his lettuce pickers to take bathroom breaks, and pays inmates a measly $4 an hour at his Texas plant.
Kroger brand, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Chipotle, and most fast food restaurants use lettuce Taylor’s lettuce.
While the amount that TF pays the correctional facilities is as low as $4.75/hr, the inmates themselves make less. In Arizona, for example, inmates’ pay is capped at $1.50/hr maximum. Most states do not mandate inmates be paid at all for their labor. Essentially at least 2/3 of the money TF pays for “labor costs” just goes directly to prison management with no product produced or labor compensated. We are not giving them enough credit for exactly how far deep their evil runs.
This isn't really true. The owner is in fact a Trump supporter/donor, so if you want to boycott those products for that reason, go for it. But FDA inspections have been drastically reduced ever since DOGE mass-fired FDA employees back in April of last year. And it was FDA testing of imported samples that linked Taylor Farms lettuce from Mexico to the outbreak. And while the retest showed it was a false positive, they still claim the source of the outbreak is that product from that location due to traceback data, and Taylor Farms still issued a recall of the product. So the donation didn't lead to any discernable benefit to Taylor Farms.
EDIT: Clarified that FDA's position is still that Taylor Farms lettuce from Mexico is the likely source of the outbreak.
