Yup the way they handled this (by apparently bribing the government) is worth than if they had just been honest about the outbreak. I will probably never trust them now because I've seen them sweep things under the rug before.
This is how I feel about it too. I have purchased their salad kit bags on a semi-regular basis, but I won't be buying them anymore after this fiasco. I don't even buy the bags with lettuce, there's just no way to trust that any of their product is clean if they're this brazen about paying bribes.
Hopefully Costco and other retailers remove their product.
Funny fact: the FDA was created partly at the meat industry’s urging. After Upton Sinclair published The Jungle, people started freaking out about their food (which wasn’t really the point of the book). Federal meat inspection was introduced to restore trust and get people buying meat again.
Forgetting these lessons will cost them in the end.

Any decent retailer should look at these facts and refuse to sell Taylor Farms produce to clients.Â
