Summary
Taylor Farms has already pulled dozens of lettuce products after the FDA said a cyclospora result tied to its lettuce was a false positive.
The recall remains in place because possible contamination has not been ruled out, even after the agency withdrew the earlier test finding.
Central Mexico-sourced products were distributed across 27 states, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey, widening the reach of the precautionary action.
FDA and state partners are still collecting and analyzing samples as they try to identify the true source of an outbreak that has sickened thousands nationwide.
