You Probably Ate Contaminated Lettuce. The FDA Won’t Tell You.
An FDA report on the Taylor Farms lettuce recall reveals that less than 2.5% of the contaminated product went to Taco Bell—the only brand named in the news. The other 97.5% vanished into the supply chain, meaning you may have eaten recalled lettuce without ever knowing. The recall system prioritizes brand protection over public health, and that’s a problem for everyone.
