A U.S. lawmaker is scrutinizing Taylor Farms, the produce supplier linked to a growing cyclosporiasis outbreak, over its connections to the White House. The number of reported cases has risen, prompting concerns about potential regulatory oversight and political influence.
Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, has raised questions about the company’s relationship with the Trump administration. Taylor Farms has not yet responded to requests for comment on the matter.
The outbreak has drawn attention to food safety protocols and the role of suppliers in public health crises. No immediate market reaction has been reported.
