Check Your Refrigerator: Walmart Lettuce Products Recalled
Update 7/20/26: The FDA has updated its nationwide lettuce investigation, stating that a Taylor Farms sample initially identified as positive for Cyclospora was later found to be a false positive. The agency now says there are no confirmed positive product samples linked to the investigation.
On July 17, 2026, Taylor Farms announced that they are voluntarily removing all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico from the U.S. market. Taylor Fresh Foods’ recall notice included Marketside-brand product available at Walmart:

- 8-oz and 16-oz Shredded Lettuce with Best if Used By dates 7/18/2026 to 8/3/2026
A complete list of affected products distributed to Taylor Fresh Foods food service customers including lot codes, use-by dates, and instructions for returning or disposing of the affected product is available on the company’s recall notice.
A sample of shredded iceberg lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico has tested positive for Cyclospora. This sample was collected during targeted import surveillance as a result of this outbreak investigation. Taylor Farms has confirmed that this positive product is not part of their current recall. They are currently working to identify whether any part of this implicated lot is available in commerce or in consumers homes. The positive lot is currently detained and more information will be provided as it becomes available.
