Taylor Farms responded on social media late Sunday, saying the FDA had apologized to the company.

Many on social media took this to mean that Taylor Farms’ iceberg lettuce was no longer implicated in the outbreak at all.

But the false positive did nothing to change the “overwhelming epidemiological data” that supported a recall of shredded lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico, the FDA said on social media. The agency “factually explained the issues” that led to the false positive test result to Taylor Farms, an FDA official said Monday.

None of the back-and-forth did much to reassure the public, some of whom questioned on social media whether they could trust any of the parties involved — the FDA, the administration, Taylor Farms, lettuce. Nor did the news that representatives from the company met with White House and FDA officials.

A spokesperson from Taylor Farms told The New York Times that its meeting with Trump administration officials was to discuss “shortfalls in the F.D.A. and C.D.C.’s outbreak response process.”

In response to one post from liberal media company MeidasTouch pointing to the ties between Taylor Farms and the Trump administration, an account for the Department of Health and Human Services wrote on X, “This is how the FAKE NEWS works: imply collusion, ignore the facts. Nothing influences our decisions except science and the safety of the American people.”

This is what corruption looks like. This is why it's bad.
Corporations and big businesses WILL hurt you if the government lets them. Not could, will. There is always a way to make more money at your expense, and making money is the only thing corporations and businesses care about.

I voted for this and will vote for it again. Rules and regulations are constricting our businesses and giving an edge to our competitors.

yep. as a consumer you want rules and regulations _overall_

if some of those rules and regulations affect your life slightly, just go around them and move on in life instead of be a loudmouth faggot.

Not only that, corporations will exploit their workers deaths to make more money. Look up Walmart's 'Dead Peasants Insurance'

"There is no diarrhea lettuce in Ba Sing Se"

The real story is that the source of these outbreaks are illegal immigrants shitting on the produce. Cyclospora is a fecal to oral parasite.

No, if we're going for things that didn't happen for 1000 alex, then the real story is Trump personally shit all over the lettuce. That's why maga faggots can't stop licking it. Taco bell never tasted so good, or caused this much bowel distress!
