The FDA conducted a private investigation into an E. coli outbreak that sickened 89 people across 15 states last November but failed to disclose its findings publicly. In lawsuits, Taylor Farms was implicated as the source of tainted lettuce, yet the FDA did not confirm this, citing trade secrets for non-disclosure. This outbreak involved a dangerous strain of E. coli, which can lead to severe health consequences. The FDA also had ambiguous messaging regarding the situation, frustrating families seeking accountability and information on the outbreak's source.
The FDA's investigation into a deadly E. coli outbreak was quietly closed without public notice, leaving affected families without critical information.
Despite naming Taylor Farms in lawsuits, the FDA did not reveal the company's involvement in the E. coli outbreak linked to tainted lettuce.
