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.
The last few times I’ve gotten it there have been like 3 crumbs of beef throughout the whole thing. Like, you could not possibly put that small an amount of meat on accidentally. I’d feel better about it if they actually just forgot the meat altogether. They are clearly putting the smallest amount of meat possible on those things, total ripoff.
