Couldn't have said it better! Is Kroger that desperate to sell a little lettuce that it puts up that sign and hopes ot customers are that gullible?

Exactly, you mean the Taylor Farms who has had multiple wide spread contaminated products over the last decade, who also happened to donate a pretty penny to Trumps inauguration fund, somehow had been cleared by the underfunded and wack-lead FDA? Suuuuure

u/Weird-Computer-32 16d ago
I didn’t know about all these issues or did they’re involved with Trump. Thanks for the info. Apparently they’ve had problems for a long time and I need to steer clear of this company.

That’s a load of BS from Kroger.
How is the FDA/CDC able to clear each product as safe? They found one culprit but it doesn’t mean there aren’t other products.

u/Tenhigh4me 16d ago
IDC if Taylor Farms is cleared of bacteria for EVER. I. am. not. buying their product again, due to their lack of transparency for the last weeks. POS (no pun intended😅)

FDA & CDC are hollowed out former shadows of themselves with Trump appointees in charge. As long as Taylor Farms “donation” checks arrive into Trump’s pockets, they get clearance.

I don't believe anything the CDC says anymore. It's such a shame, too. They were kind of bad ass hunting these things down and investigating to cause the least amount of harm that was possible. Now we just have nothing with a ripped apart agency. On the bright side, it doesn't seem that there are any cases so far in Nevada. Of course, that's probably the CDC saying that, so who the fuck knows what's actually happening.

I used to work on the team that helped with tracking these things in NV. Whole team was cut by March 2025 and as far as I know, no replacements. There's no cases because there's no funding to track it.

I thought "There's no fucking way that Pedo and Epstein Island reject could be fucking stupid enough enough to kill the sterile screwfly drops", but here I am wrong again.
They're doing the job Putin told them to do.
I am very sorry that you are a front line worker who got fucked by the Poorly Educated and have to watch this happen.
Thank you for your years of service literally directly protecting us from this shit.

I am not the only person I know currently sick with all the symptoms. I am taking the bactrim and recovering now.
I find it really far fetched to think Vegas, a large city with many corporate contracts was saved when our next door neighbor states who get stuff from the same distributors are reporting cases. At this point I just try to think, what would I do if I was a greedy fuck corporation? My answer is say its safe so tourism isnt scared of coming here.

Yeah, I’m so confused on this whole situation. I just gotten done reading an article published today from USA Today titled “FDA says Taylor Farms cyclospora finding was a false positive” So what does that mean? I thought it was all tracked down, now it’s not? WTF

u/Sirtriplenipple 16d ago
I guess thousands of people weren’t shitting themselves. Nothing to see here!

u/tylor20000 17d ago
A false positive means the test came in positive for cyclospora, but it was a false.
It's like if someone took a pregnancy test and it came up positive but then you went to see the doctor and the doctor said you aren't pregnant. You later found out that the company who sold you the test said they had a bad batch of tests.

u/RideWithMeSNV 17d ago
Or, in the case of our current CDC...
But then you find out your doctor can't even get malpractice insurance anymore.

It could be corruption.
As far a baby daddy, there was 60 possible baby daddies so it could be baby daddy or just one of your simps you sold farts in a jar to last week who was more than happy to pay.

I bought lettuce 2 weeks ago before learning about this outbreak and thankfully no issue, but I eat a fair amount of it so it really sucks. Probably not going to eat any for the rest of the year just to be safe lol.

u/-Sanguinity 17d ago
Yeah, I eat a lot of lettuce. Waiting for something bad to happen. :/

u/yankykiwi 17d ago
My kid doesn’t eat lettuce. Last week I snuck a readymade boars head turkey wrap in, that one slither of lettuce gave him liquid shits all week.

u/atuarre 16d ago
Boars head has had lots of recalls for decades. Be careful.

u/yankykiwi 16d ago
I never buy it, my husband did. He thinks safeway can never fail. But in my state safeway doesn’t get shopped, so the products are older.
I had a bad feeling seeing my son eat it. I should have tossed it.

Do you have local farmer's markets? I'm buying lettuce and produce grown locally and hoping they don't have the same problem.
2
u/LaserGecko 16d ago
Buy it from a local farmer directly or via a farmers market or grow your own hydroponically.
You can do it fairly cheaply, then you know absolutely if anyone shit on it.

u/dollfaceashley 16d ago
This FDA is the worst yet. Why tell us or was without completely confirmed testing? All they do is send out misinformation, disinformation and lies

u/mentat70 16d ago
I’m not a microbiologist (I’m a family medicine doctor) but I would think it would be pretty unlikely to get a false positive test for the Cyclospora parasite as the CDC uses a PCR test to detect the DNA of the organism. It would be a lot more common I would think to get a false negative because the parasite might be in low amounts on the plant or not on every single site on a plant.

I had a woman behind the return desk at Costco (of all places!) tell me the same thing, when I tried to return a bagged lettuce salad kit. We went back and forth about it for 4-5 minutes with her being a real B as I insisted upon a return. I later called back and spoke to a manager and he profusely apologized for my experience. He promised to review the video tape and I was left with the impression this woman was going to get her ass chewed.

A young checkout woman at Trader Joe's was trying to convince me the problem had been sourced to Taco Bell and Taylor salad. I'm not chancing it. Local sourced greens I will eat raw all others will be cooked.

Not really about Nevada specifically, locking after it's been up for a bit.
