They should sue for more than that. Their reputation was hurt and saying it was false doesn't completely fix the reputation problem.
It's the same reason politicians constantly throw out ridiculous lies about each other. Even if proven completely false, it is still out there.

Taco Bell has never given me diarrhea. I never understood the joke that it does.

So you're saying that orangemanbad coerced the lab tech to give a false positive that would cost his donor buddy millions, but then changed his mind and forced him to change the results?

Same. It's fine for what it is. Cheap, somewhat tasty, completely Americanized Mexican food. I've eaten there dozens of times and never gotten the tiniest bit sick even once.

The agency said Sunday a test that indicated a sample of iceberg lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico carried the cyclospora parasite was a false positive. However, that only applies to one specific shipment of lettuce supplied by the company.
The tainted lettuce was already eaten or thrown out most likely.

Nah. It came from them.
Why are people so retarded? Seriously. You think lettuce they tested this weekend was responsible for diarrhea from weeks ago?

In foodborne outbreak investigations, a false positive can happen when an initial screening signal isn’t reproduced during confirmation testing. Some doctors have pointed out that cyclospora is particularly challenging to recreate in the lab.
But it has not caused a shift in how public officials view the root of the outbreak.
The Department of Health and Human Services in Michigan, where the outbreak has seen explosive growth, says it continues to recommend that people purchase whole heads of lettuce rather than pre-washed, bagged or pre-mixed salad kits.

All I’m saying is that it’s awfully suspicious. The initial test could have been a true positive but Bruce Taylor may have told Trump he is a big donor of his and was there anything that can be done. So Trump told the FDA to change the narrative and asked Taylor for another donation.
Yes…chances are slim that any lettuce bought off the shelf now are contaminated. But I’m not chancing it for a while.

I’ve lived and worked for several years overseas, and spent my share of time in shitholes with laughable health standards.
Still alive and kicking just fine, with a well-above-average tolerance for questionable food hygiene.

I will. Wouldn't give it a second thought, either.

But cyclospora has been isolated in each and every one of the positive cases of explosive diarrhea. So far we have hit a blind alley in the epidemiologic maze-- there's still work to do in pinpointing the source of the sickness

This is the stuff of recurrent nightmares. It seems preposterous but I believe OMB is evil enough to actually perpetrate such an offense.

Once someone announces a possible outbreak, grifters can't run fast enough to purchase the product and claim they almost died.

I had one of their salad kits for lunch.

A suspicious person might also think this company was targeted because the owner was connected to Trump.
