Taco Bell Canada says its lettuce is safe amid cyclospora outbreak
My pre-write turned out to be 70% a. CDC's comms have been wildly irresponsible; b. If I couldn't prove lettuce is not from Taylor Farms, I wouldn't eat it; c. Taylor Farms gave MAGA Inc. $1M USD less than a week after FDA postponed food traceability rules. www.patreon.com/mattbc/posts...
Matthew Cortland (they)68I filled in the missing 30% today
Already testing positive outside the recall www.reuters.com/world/fda-sa...
Emma Jean Kitty13They are truly trying to kill us
L'esprit de l'escalier5Yet another reason I'm glad to have a home garden.
Paul2My default healthy workplace lunch option (a) in shambles, or maybe (b) it’s long past time for me to be more intentional about what I eat
Matthew Cortland (they)1697It's a scam all the way down. Taylor Farms gave MAGA Inc. $1M USD less than a week after FDA postponed implementation of food traceability rules. www.patreon.com/mattbc/posts...
ChrisCatMom🐈📎18Profit over lives. It’s happening right now in America.
Quarantegan13@matthewcort.land published an excellent update on Cyclosporiasis today: bsky.app/profile/matt...
Call me Ishmabill4The price to put poop in America’s food is only $1M in the GOP’s America.
Nathan Newman- Working to 8647, the Pedophile Rapist4My six to eight times daily rush to the bathroom for the last three weeks makes this very personal :) This is what MAGA/MAHA has licensed- corporate corruption that is making us sicker and killing a lot of people.
avoiding the cyclospora scare by rinsing my lettuce in the panera lemonade that kills people
Jakey Bakey17We were talking about the lettuce parasite at work and I just stole your joke
mr-chitown.bsky.social3Panera should have just full sent on that and like partnered with prisons that do lethal injections lol but the death sentence is you just have to drink lemonade until your heart stops
Luke3Can you rinse mine too?
Florida Chris2unfortunately for me, who drank 2 a day, that shit was discontinued. i had to go back to meth.
Rick1if you’re going to panera I’ll take a chocolate chipper or one of those cinnamon rolls please
Prof. (Evergreen) Oak1Oh crap, I'm eating Panera right now, but I forgot to get my disinfectant lemonade 😭
I just read the Taco Bell is now being sued for the Cyclospora outbreak Taylor Farms is the culprit. Not Taco Bell. Taylor farms sold places like Taco Bell contaiminated lettuce Taco Bell doesn’t have lettuce fields. How motherfucking hard is this?
AnnTFa_LaLaLaLa7They don't want people to be mad at Taylor Farms or the billionaire Trump friend who owns it, and they don't want people to realize that Taylor Farms supplies over half of the produce we eat and they have a long history of contamination with no consequences. So it's Taco Bell bad! Mexico bad!

Incommunicado (anti 🧊for DHS)2Nope - Taco Hell is in the business of sourcing produce for its foods. Responsible sourcing, lot tracing and rapid response to issues is their responsibility. They'll have to prove that they exercised all due diligence in those processes in a court of law, something they should have to.
Estefano2Taylor Farms under its current CEO is a major republican donor, so untouchable. They sell produce grown in Mexico.
donclyde63 🇺🇲 🇫🇮1You mean one of those lawsuits where lawyers make all the money? Taco bell has more money than Taylor farms. That's why.
Dr. Darrell C.1I want to eat at Taco Bell. But tacos without lettuce and tomatoes. For the same price, seems like a scam.
Paulette Donahue8Some people just can’t think
"There are two ways a food source gets contaminated. We don’t know which one it is yet. I hope we get answers soon. But it does trace back to human fecal matter hitting our produce, and then us eating it and making us sick." This won't be the last time.
Carl S. Ergo Sum5Good, helpful article. And a giant pox on this administration and all the science deniers who’ve ruined this country’s legacy of health leadership.
Emily4Disease outbreaks are a reality of industrial farming. The threat is the Trump admin and the brain-worm farmer running HHS, who dismantled the CDC's parasite division and made cyclospora testing and reporting optional for "government efficiency" What kind of mentally diseased psychopath does that?
Janie D🧀🏝️🩴🦮4“When you’re slidin into 3rd and you wanna take a….”
MJ3Contaminated irrigation water or in a packing house are usually the root cause based on my experience.
Steve Bear2The Trump Dump of Death
New: The FDA is retracting its previous statement about detecting cyclospora in an unrecalled lot of Taylor Farms lettuce “FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive.”
Thomas Boyd40I guess this is what $1M gets you in the Trump administration...
ShiftKicker7Seems like they are actively and knowingly harming/ possibly causing the death of American citizens.
i.d.i.! inc.5Well, ok! Back to eating the explosive poop lettuce then, I guess...
JB3Why should we believe this administration?
Arrianna Marie Planey, PhD MA84Being a major donor has its perks, I guess
Thor Benson72Here's the thing: No one has any reason to believe them
public health guy40i’m not familiar enough with FDA lab work to say whether this is a credible claim or not. (maybe one of my oomfies does?) fun times in the age of zero credibility government! given everything else we’re seeing, it’s certainly eyebrow raising
-𝚖𝚘𝚡24i don't believe you dot gif
WhinterQueen9this is what being a trump mega donor gets you.
post malone ergo propter malone8any food safety people want to translate "does not represent true amplification" for me? how should I assess this in terms of Favor To Trump Donor versus Sober Scientific Assessment of Risk?
Constantine4It is utterly inexcusable that the FDA should have released data like this that hadn't been checked six ways from Sunday. Instead of lowering anxiety and increasing trust in government oversight, they accomplished the exact opposite.
O. ⟭⟬ᴱ ᴬᴿᴱ ᴮ⟬⟭ᶜᴷ ⊙⊝⊜4I mean, ppl will still get sick so it's not good press in the end if they don't fucking fix it.
Kat4Obama4After a call from Trump?
Jesse Hawken3I guess the check cleared
you stopped going to Taco Bell because of diarrhea lettuce, I stopped going when my Taco Bell put an AI voice in the drive thru
Sam Antics14The visceral disgust I felt was worse than 10x diarrhea
Haley's Head Mechanic 🏳️⚧️3Thank god my local Taco Bells haven't done this. Humans messing up my order is bad enough, if I have to argue with a machine I will detonate.
Funny Karate Bear (But Festive)2I’ll take 18000 water cups please
People coming together in defense of taco bell to make sure Taylor Farms gets the earned blame instead … maybe i do have faith in society after all 🥹
Dylan Harrington8My algorithm has shown me more people calling folks out for blaming TB than people actually blaming TB. I’m taking that as evidence that my friends are smart and I have good taste in people.
Mikey5If anything it shows that Taco Bell knows their suppliers and does really good tracing ☝️ we will continue to support
I think it shows a lack of critical thinking if your takeaway from the lettuce thing is that Taco Bell is bad, when they're the first and only outfit that was actually doing anything about the lettuce problem before it was a problem.
Xander (very glueable) @ San Japanic3Yep. I said it before that I'm not one to defend corporations, but Taco Bell is doing more to protect people than the federal government right now.
Big Spooky ColBosch2I unsubbed from a streamer and left their Discord because they made a lazy Taco Bell joke today. It's somebody I've known for almost 40 years. No goddamn excuse.
Dio's Combat Diary2it‘s also significant because while taco bell is doing the bare minimum to not get fucking blasted for having produce with butt parasites in it, the CDC is being purposefully made to do even less
