July 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Sunday that laboratory experts re-checked lettuce sample results from Taylor Farms in an investigation into an outbreak of the cyclospora parasite and concluded the finding should be considered a false positive. As of Sunday, there were no confirmed positive sample results for cyclospora, the FDA added.
The FDA on Saturday had said that a sample of shredded iceberg lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms tested positive for the parasitic illness that has sickened thousands of people in the U.S.
A spokesperson for Taylor Fresh Foods told Reuters that the company was informed the FDA made a mistake.
I’m calling bs. Taylor farms is known for this. They probably paid someone off. False positive… We know it’s coming from a large farm/distribution. If not Taylor farms then who? The list of farms with that much reach across America is small.
I haven’t verified it yet but someone else on Lemmy said the ceo met with the trump admin so…

I see nothing about a personal meeting. Just a huge donation a year and change ago.
Yeah maybe the “false positive” retest was really just a “false negative”.
