Trump-Taylor Farms link amid Cyclospora outbreak? Senator Elizabeth Warren flags ‘political contributions’ worth million
Senator Elizabeth Warren, in a letter to US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, claimed Taylor Farms’ parent company “has donated millions to political organizations with ties to President Trump.”
US Senator Elizabeth Warren has raised concerns about a possible connection between US President Donald Trump's political ties and the ongoing Cyclospora outbreak linked to Taylor Farms. In a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, Warren claims that the produce giant's parent company, Taylor Fresh Foods Inc, has donated millions to political organizations aligned with Trump, including more than $1 million to MAGA Inc. She alleges that these donations were made around the same time Taylor Farms received favorable regulatory actions that potentially increased the risk of foodborne illness outbreaks.
Warren also questions the Trump administration's response, pointing out that the agency delayed important food traceability regulations and ended mandatory reporting of cyclospora to the CDC's Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network. Warren is urging Kennedy to answer questions on protocols for testing false positives and to provide communications between health agencies and Taylor Farms.
