I’d buy them to get out of work by claiming I got the shits.

Like Little Pete did with the tapioca label.

Godspeed.

There isn't much commercial lettuce farming in the Midwest and Canada.

This company is based in Salinas, CA and has farms and plants in Mexico. They were able to identify that the outbreak came from Taco Bell locations. They also were able to determine that the common factor was lettuce served at Taco Bell locations in five states. There may be additional locations in other states that received the contaminated lettuce. There may also be stores other than Taco Bell but they haven't identified any yet. When they looked at records, they found that the contaminated lettuce all originated from a single processing facility located in Mexico. Taylor Farms has recalled all iceberg lettuce that originated in central Mexico.

Lots of produce is produced and processed in facilities far from where it is consumed. When shipping, they don't make stops along the way to drop off small amounts. They load large amounts of produce into trucks and trains, then send it to a distribution center. This lettuce was found to have been shipped from Mexico to five states including MI.

The producer (Taylor Fresh Foods) said they linked it to the iceberg lettuce from Mexico.

We may never find out the full truth, but I would assume if they say this happened on Michigan there is a reasonable chance they will get inspected by the FDA or something like that. Since everyone in the current US administration knows that Mexicans are dirty and not as superior as the white folks in Michigan, saying the outbreak started there is probably the quickest way to close this case

Thanks for the info. I believe individuals are allowed a deduction for charitable donations so I was thinking that business may have something similar.

Trash also has the expense of trashing it.

Or if it really is less expensive to get rid of it this way, then it will increase their profit which has the opposite effect from a "write off"
