One of America’s largest produce suppliers visited the White House days before the administration walked back a warning suggesting the company’s lettuce could be linked to an outbreak of explosive diarrhea.

Executives from MAGA-donor Taylor Farms met officials from the White House and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last Thursday, July 16, one day before it issued a voluntary recall of lettuce sourced from Central Mexico that linked it to Cyclospora, the parasite that has caused a nationwide outbreak of diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue.
