Mexico farm linked to illnesses resumes operations

WASHINGTON (AP) — An outbreak of more than 600 severe stomach illnesses around the country remains a mystery as the FDA says it found no food safety violations at a Mexican farm linked to some of the illnesses.

The FDA said Tuesday that Taylor Farms de Mexico could resume operations after investigators found conditions there “in accordance with known food safety protocols.” The firm shut down voluntarily earlier this month after its salad mix served at Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants was linked to 242 cyclospora infections in Nebraska and Iowa.
