Maybe it was just Taco Bell itself and not necessarily the lettuce

Some donor money passed hands on that one.

In all honesty, bagged, shredded iceberg lettuce is notorious for having parasites and other issues (listeria, E.coli, etc). You're always better off just buying a head of lettuce, washing it and cutting it up yourself.

A major institution of the US FedGov, the FDA, can't even competently execute a mission as simple as testing lettuce for a toxic microbe?

What??

The whole US Government civilian workforce is riddled with incompetence. We need to reduce the size of FedGov.

Actually, the department tasked with monitoring for this specific pathogen was gutted by the doge-idiots.

That is a bullshite Democrat talking point.

How many people on staff are needed to execute a simple mission such as testing Taylor Farms lettuce sample for this microbe?

Tell us EXACTLY how the DOGE cuts caused the FDA to become unable to test a sample of lettuce for a specific microbe.

Go ahead. We are waiting for your thoughtful solution.

If it wasn’t for Trump we could have had this false positive weeks ago.

Sorry the facts hurt your feelings. My thoughtful solution is to keep post-adolescent dipshits who call themselves "Big Balls" out of any meaningful position to effect change. Disastrous, ill-considered change.

Screw all of that extra work. I much rather pay 3 times that for some machine to do the work for me and put in a plastic box/bag. Plus, it already says triple washed right there on the container, so you know it's clean.

This is likely PR stuff to make sure Taco Bell doesn't just completely bleed money

Did anyone vet the information before reporting? Can Taco Bell sue the FDA now?

Best part about Taco Bell is telling the lady you have to piss and either way it’s true.
