"Taylor Farms" not a farm. It is a produce packaging operation with 20,000 employees and production facilities in Mexico, Canada and Europe. They have been previously associated with an E. Coli outbreak and another Cyclosporiasis outbreak. Too big to jail? There is no excuse for a lack of basic sanitation in packing facilities. This is 2026 not 1826.

Kudos to the Michigan state health department. Tracking down the source of an outbreak is absolutely essential and that takes a budget, expertise, and manpower, the very things that are being cut in the federal government.

F you Elon Musk and RFK Jr.
