Major FDA recall: iceberg lettuce tied to 1,644 illnesses
Taylor Fresh Foods/Taylor Farms de Mexico iceberg lettuce has been recalled because of possible Cyclospora contamination linked to a five-state outbreak.
The outbreak has caused:
- 1,644 reported illnesses
- 94 hospitalizations
- No reported deaths
Illnesses began between May 13 and July 13, 2026. FDA says the investigation remains ongoing.
Products consumers should check
The recall includes Marketside-brand products sold at select Walmart stores:
- Iceberg Salad, 12-ounce and 24-ounce packages
Best-if-used-by dates: July 18 through August 3, 2026 - Shredded Lettuce, 8-ounce and 16-ounce packages

Additional recalled iceberg lettuce and salad products were distributed to restaurants and food-service customers under brands including CV, JB and Mark.
The products were distributed across at least 28 states. Marketside products were sold at certain Walmart stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.

What consumers should do
Do not eat the recalled lettuce. Throw it away or return it for a refund, and clean containers and refrigerator surfaces it touched.
