I keep hearing it's only iceberg and I also keep hearing they aren't really sure. Taylor farms lettuce tested positive, then it didn't.

It would be nice to have a functioning and competent FDA so we could trust them to investigate.

Yeah, I'm avoiding any lettuce grown by Taylor Farms right now out of an abundance of caution. As I mentioned in another comment, I get my greens from Gotham Greens and haven't had any issues.

Taylor farms lettuce tested positive, then it didn't.

They've tested multiple kinds of lettuce multiple times. One of those tests was a false positive but not all of the tests were.
