Taylor Fresh Foods, parent company of Taylor Farms, is voluntarily recalling some products that include jalapenos because of worries about a possible salmonella contamination.
This is not a defense of Taylor Farms, but a discussion about numbers in general.
They are a large producer of produce in the US, supplying 30-40% of the market. They’re making news far more than Fresh Express, Dole, and Brightfarms & Church Brothers are. They also have much more marketshare.
They are not recalling more than their fair share.
And notably, we’re talking about one of the most vulnerable products: prewashed fresh cut greens like lettuce and other vegetables.
The fact that FDA/USDA is able to trace these things back to specific companies is a sign our safety nets are working.
So they are not sick fucks, and if you boycott them because they keep having recalls, I recommend boycotting pretty much every single brand of fresh vegetable that exists, because they all have recalls.
Do you remember how people were making fun of the lady whose genitals were fused because of the McDonald’s hot coffee? Similar thing here. This is making news, and rightfully so, but these guys are as safe as the industry as a whole, and the whole point is that recalls are part of our safety net.
This completely ignores the fact that our safety net (FDA testing) was cut to shreds in 2025 by lord diapers.
10 years ago I’d have agreed with everything you are saying. Now though, either you need to update to this year old truth, or you are intentionally deflecting from the real and very public reality that the safety net we all grew up with is gone.
If you aren’t boycotting everything these sick fucks sell, you haven’t been paying attention (enjoy your diarrhea lettuce!).

They’ve been linked to forced labour I think is what op is talking about.
Yeah except their shit ends up white labeled and not clearly marked as from Taylor farms… So how can one even boycott or not diarrhea effectively?
