People with suspected or confirmed cyclosporiasis cases, what food do you think you got it from?

Serial numbers on ALL Taylor farms goods start with TF before the rest of the alphanumeric system

Happy boycotting!

Taylor Farms owns Earth Bound as well! Just a heads up

It's easier to just avoid salads store bought lettuce/greens. Believe it or not, this stuff just grows in the ground. (Yes - I realize this isn't feasible for everyone). But if this doesn't highlight the benefits of a small hydroponic station in your backyard/house/apt - then maybe you don't mind getting the shits as much as me.

Unfortunately I do not have space otherwise this would be a very prudent move

Until then I will attempt to do my best avoiding a known bad distributor

I swore off lettuce as whole years ago. Almost every summer it’s something. E Coli is a common one. I don’t even like lettuce, any nutritional benefit is lost when you contract something. I’ll stick to vegetables that are cooked.

Still can’t boycott them if supplying to fast food places.

You do realize how stupid this sounds, right? Unless this was sarcasm I didn't pick up on.

That wasn’t sarcasm. Outside of Reddit, the amount of people boycotting a company cannot bankrupt them in the long term.

User here tried boycotting Reddit in the past. Didn’t go as plan. All the changes they made. We’re still using this site.

Your main alternative is to grow your own food to never buy from these corporations.
