July 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Sunday that laboratory experts ​re-checked lettuce sample results from Taylor Farms in an ‌investigation into an outbreak of the cyclospora parasite and concluded the finding should be considered a false positive. As of Sunday, there were no confirmed ​positive sample results for cyclospora, the FDA added.

The FDA on ​Saturday had said that a sample of shredded iceberg lettuce ⁠supplied by Taylor Farms tested positive for the parasitic illness ​that has sickened thousands of people in the U.S.

A spokesperson ​for Taylor Fresh Foods told Reuters that the company was informed the FDA made a mistake.

OK, neat. But, a lot of people still have cyclosporiasis and are suffering its effects. So, if you guys fucked up on the investigation, where is it actually coming from?

Its still coming from Taylor Farms, the FDA (even after being slashed to the bone by the Trump Administration) still found the source.

But Taylor Farms is owned by a big trump supporter, so exoneration is just another little donation away.

Any evidence or is this just blueanon tinfoil shit?

  1. The president is massively corrupt and regularly takes bribes

  2. The CEO of TF is a big trump supporter, already gave him a million dollars

  3. The FDA traced the source to Taylor Farms, then tested the lettuce and found the bacteria

  4. the TF CEO flew out to have a special meeting with Trump, who regularly and openly takes bribes.

  5. Suddenly the FDA announces that it was actually a false positive

If you cant figure it out at this point, its just willful ignorance.

I've seen people who seem more informed than I say there are two more cases that we know about.

This is deregulation. Cook your food.
