FARM FRESH SAFE TO EAT LETTUCE
New Jersey local farms and locally grown produce are not affected by the current iceberg lettuce recall. The recall—initiated by Taylor Farms due to a cyclosporiasis outbreak—is strictly tied to iceberg lettuce sourced from a specific region in central Mexico, not local New Jersey agriculture.
The current recall is tied to iceberg lettuce sourced from a specific farm in central Mexico, and there is no indication that locally grown New Jersey lettuce or produce is involved. Taylor Farms has voluntarily removed all iceberg lettuce from that region as a precaution, but this does not include produce grown by New Jersey farmers.

There is no evidence that locally grown New Jersey produce is part of this recall.
As always, it’s still a good idea to:
- Wash fresh fruits and vegetables under running water before eating.
- Keep raw produce separate from raw meat.
- Check recall notices if you purchase packaged produce from national brands.
