Executives from the produce supplier named in the largest cyclospora outbreak in United States records met privately with officials from the White House and the Food and Drug Administration on the evening the FDA identified their lettuce as the outbreak source, according to a person familiar with the meeting who spoke to Reuters.
The account, published by Reuters through Insurance Journal, describes Taylor Farms requesting the meeting and using it to complain about the government's inspection process. The source is unnamed. Reuters reported that the company did not respond to a request for comment on the points raised.
