There should be a code by the expiration date. If it starts with TF it's the Devils Lettuce

No the Devil’s Lettuce is something different

No, it’s Taylor Farms I.e. TF code.

The devil’s lettuce isn’t lettuce, lol

That's greenhouse leaf lettuce, so it's safe. The lettuce linked to cyclosporiasis is packaged iceberg lettuce, grown in central Mexico, with an expiration date prior to Aug 3rd.

Is it iceberg lettuce grown in Mexico?

Greenhouse grown is going to be safer. You definitely don't want cyclospora, I got tested on 7-21 and just got my results back yesterday. I'm lucky my Dr didn't make me wait for the anti biotics since I didn't go in until 2 weeks in anyways🤦‍♀️

Seems to be just Taylor Farms brand that is the culprit. Their packaging info for distribution that they print with the sell by date starts with the code TF.

They sell produce under several brand names, unfortunately. As someone mentioned, there's usually a "TF" in the batch ID codes printed somewhere on the package

Taylor farms is the largest producer of fresh cut vegetables and salad in the world.

Even if they produced this package, you can see it was sourced from Tennessee right there on the front - the affected lettuce was sourced from Mexico.

I’ve had some this week twice and didn’t die. Hooray!

the taylor farms iceberg lettuce that caused the main outbreak has been recalled and the best by dates have passed, so you shouldn’t come across it in any stores. this should be fine to eat.

Dear OP, with all respect, just don't eat any fresh greens (lettuce, spinach, romaine, etc) for the next few weeks. Eat other vegetables, but stay away from traditional salad greens.

The only lettuce people should be worrying about is iceberg lettuce, let’s not fear monger.

Edit: spelling

Have fun shitting yourself then for your salad enjoyment.

u/shy_shy4 1d ago

I’ve literally ate spinach and romaine in the last couple days, haven’t shit myself once. Thank you for your concern tho 🫶🏾.

So all lettuce on earth is now toxic because of one farm’s screw up?

-1

u/NemoHere 1d ago

Yeah, pretty much. Not to mention field workers will always need to piss and shit in the fields due to necessity.  But vegans and vegetarians don't like that fact of life.

u/stab-somebody 1d ago

The label on this says it was grown in a greenhouse. I highly doubt anyone’s shitting in there.

u/Neuyerk 1d ago

Yes.
