When a cyclospora outbreak hits the U.S., it’s Taylor Farms—America’s giant fresh-cut veggie supplier—that’s in the crosshairs. This massive company feeds Walmart, Kroger, McDonald’s, and Taco Bell, making it a linchpin in our food system. With roots dating back to 1995 and billions spent on safety, they’re quick to respond: pulling iceberg lettuce from a Mexican facility and bringing in outside experts. But as the FDA investigates, questions arise about how industry consolidation creates bigger risks when one supplier fails. Past salmonella and E. coli scares, plus their heavy lobbying, fuel concerns that regulatory oversight can’t keep pace with corporate power—and that’s a scary thought for anyone who grabs a salad at the store.
