Lettuce supplier Taylor Farms is preparing to issue a recall of ingredients linked to a parasitic outbreak that has sickened more than 1,600 people across the United States, including Michigan and nearby states.
U.S. authorities have linked the outbreak to iceberg lettuce. The implicated products were marketed under several brands and had been shipped as recently as Thursday.
Taylor Farms stated that none of its branded salads or kits contain the iceberg lettuce associated with the outbreak. The parasitic illness can cause diarrhoea and other gastrointestinal symptoms.
