Produce Supplier Taylor Farms Frequently Fails to Submit Annual Injury Reports: Reuters

Taylor Farms, a produce company involved in a US cyclospora outbreak, has frequently failed to submit federally required workplace injury logs. According to a Reuters review of federal records, this failure to report occurred at least at four facilities where workers suffered fatal or serious injuries.

Over the past five years, only five to seven Taylor Farms facilities filed the annual report within the following year. Some of these facilities showed injury rates above industry averages, while others recorded below-average rates. From 2021 to 2025, at least 17 facilities were required to file such reports based on the number of employees and nature of the work.

The company's reporting rate is well below the industry average of 78%. Taylor Farms acknowledged the reporting gaps to Reuters, which make it difficult for the public to assess the workplace safety record of the California-based company, according to some workplace safety watchdog groups.
