✦AI Summary
The FDA and Taylor Farms are in a dispute over whether the agency issued an apology regarding a false-positive test result for a parasite in lettuce. While the company claims an apology was made, the FDA maintains it only provided factual information and that the recall remains necessary.
On July 17, the California-based company issued a voluntary recall on iceberg lettuce sourced from Central Mexico. The recall came after people across at least five states were sickened with cyclosporiasis, a parasitic infection that causes explosive diarrhea.
