Alex JosephGUEST
But they also need to do the proper testing.
Alex JosephGUEST
Like Dan, you mentioned a lot, especially in your previous episodes, but it needs to be tested for heavy metals, pesticides, microorganisms, so we don't end up like Taylor Farms with some weird parasites in your food or in your products.
Alex JosephGUEST
And so the issue when it comes to rice flour is it grinds up the whole rice kernel and including the rice husk, which is the casing.
Alex JosephGUEST
unfortunately, do you guys know what comes from rice husk?

Lizz WinsteadHOST
That to me now is just like become the vernacular for I'm not getting off my toilet for the next 72 hours.

Amanda AllenGUEST
As you were saying, there was no reason for you to go to that clinic in person.
Amanda AllenGUEST
The nurse even laughed with you about this.
Lizz WinsteadHOST
I mean, they didn't ban Taylor Farms lettuce because you picked it up in a plastic bag or took it home in a paper bag.
Amanda AllenGUEST
This is really becoming the Taylor Farms show.
Nate HegyiHOST
This was an outbreak across 21 states and linked to more than 12,000 estimated cases.
Nate HegyiHOST
At least one of the sources came from iceberg lettuce grown in Mexico by Taylor Farms, one of the largest producers of fresh produce in the world.
Nate HegyiHOST
So when we decided to invite food safety experts Don Schaffner and Ben Chapman to answer listener questions, it is maybe no surprise that we got this call.
LeahAUDIENCE
Hi, Outside In.
LeahAUDIENCE
Um, this is Leah calling from Falmouth, Massachusetts.
LeahAUDIENCE
Um, I didn't understand the lettuce situation honestly at all, um, 'cause it sounded like it was maybe just Taylor Farms.
LeahAUDIENCE
Um, but then maybe other brands were actually Taylor Farms sold under other labels.
LeahAUDIENCE
There were some, like, question of whether it was only in some states, but I couldn't really figure out if it was safe to eat it in Massachusetts.
Morgan HolmHOST
Well, we're going to talk about a subject that Food Safety News has been talking about for months, and that's the cyclospora outbreak that sickened nearly 20,000 people this year, according to the CDC, probably more than that in reality.
Morgan HolmHOST
And then just in the last couple of weeks, there were a couple of developments that really seemed to confirm a number of the things that you were writing about over the last couple of months, including the discovery of the cyclospora in a wastewater tank at the Taylor Farms Central Mexico facility.
Morgan HolmHOST
So just to start us off, given what we know right at the moment, what do you think are the most important things consumers need to know about this outbreak today?
Bill MarlerGUEST
Well, you know, I'll give you a little slightly a history lesson here on how this thing spun out.
Bill MarlerGUEST
I happen to be speaking at a food safety conference in Mexico when this outbreak was announced, you know, and at the time being linked to Taco Bell.
Bill MarlerGUEST
And what was interesting is conference was pretty brief.
Bill MarlerGUEST
And everybody in the know was saying it's Taylor Farms.
Bill MarlerGUEST
Now, you know, that wasn't announced really until, you know, several days later.
Dave ChapmanHOST
Well, we just had a big, uh, ongoing, a big, uh, food safety issue with the baby greens from Mexico.
Dave ChapmanHOST
Um, you know, and from Taylor farms, uh, somehow everyone started out by saying it was Taco Bell, but that's not who grew the lettuce.
Dave ChapmanHOST
It was Taylor farms.
Dave ChapmanHOST
And, uh, You know, I've learned a lot about Taylor Farms in the last three weeks.
Dave ChapmanHOST
They're big.
Dave ChapmanHOST
They're 40% of the baby greens sold in America.
Kim RogersGUEST
parasite.
Kim RogersGUEST
We just had cyclospora, which was in Taylor Farms.
Kim RogersGUEST

Well, they're out there.
Francine L ShawHOST

Matt RegusciHOST

Matt RegusciHOST
I think in the future, Taylor Farms is
speaker_4UNKNOWN
going to test for this.
Matt RegusciHOST
Let me rephrase this.
Matt RegusciHOST
Is Taylor Farms going to test for cyclospora in their plants in Salinas? This is a perfect example.
Scott JohnsonHOST
But nope.
Randy JordanPANELIST
I have bought so much Taylor Farms produce lately.
Randy JordanPANELIST

And it's so cheap at the store to buy their bagged salads and stuff.
