🥬 The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
Taylor Farms, the produce giant behind the current cyclospora outbreak and last year's deadly E. coli romaine recall, has been contracting prison labor from Arizona at $4.75/hour. The incarcerated workers themselves take home max $1.50/hour. A 2023 Prison Legal News report resurfaced this week connecting the dots.
