US Senator Elizabeth Warren has accused Taylor Farms of using political donations to influence the Trump administration’s response to a cyclospora outbreak linked to its lettuce. In a letter to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, Warren alleged that Taylor Fresh Foods donated over $1 million to Trump’s SuperPAC, MAGA Inc., shortly after the FDA delayed a food traceability rule. She also noted another donation in June 2025, weeks before the administration ended mandatory reporting of cyclospora. The outbreak has infected nearly 14,000 people in Michigan and spread to 17 states. Warren has asked Kennedy to respond by August 27.
