#TaylorFarms Spent Big on #MAGA and #AntiRegulatory #Lobbying Before #Diarrhea Outbreak
The company donated more than $3.6 million to #conservative groups between 2020 and 2025, including $1 million to the #MAGAInc. #SuperPAC.
by Kate Taylor, Jul 21, 2026
"The lettuce supplier at the center of the turbo diarrhea outbreak has spent millions of dollars to sway sentiment around #FoodRegulation and elect Donald Trump and other MAGA Republicans, according to public filings.
"Taylor Farms donated more than $2 million to conservative political groups in 2025, according to Federal Election Commission filings. That includes a $1 million donation to MAGA Inc., the Trump-centric super PAC, and $1.1 million to other super PACs dedicated to electing Republicans.
"From 2020 through the end of 2024, the company donated more than $1.6 million to conservative PACs, including a total of $850,000 to #AFPAction, an anti-regulation super PAC with ties to the #Koch network.
"#BruceTaylor, the chairman and CEO of Taylor Farms, is also a longtime donor to Republican causes. Since 2020, Taylor has personally donated more than $900,000 to Republican PACs and candidates, including contributions to Texas senator #JohnCornyn and Tennessee senator #MarshaBlackburn."Read more:

FDA Deputy Commissioner Details Agency’s Food Safety Priorities
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is moving quickly and purposefully on several fronts to improve the safety of the American food supply, said Donald Prager, acting deputy commissioner for food, during a speech …

Canada’s cloned-food pause is not the same as a green light
A Canadian food policy debate is raising one blunt question: should shoppers be told when cloning is part of the supply chain?Dear Cherubs, the viral version of this story is neat, dramatic, and a little too eager to jump the queue. Health Canada did propose changing how foods from cloned cattle and swine are regulated, but the department later said it had indefinitely paused the update after receiving significant feedback from consumers and industry. As of that Nov. 19 update, cloned-cattle and cloned-swine foods still remain subject to the novel-food assessment, and Health Canada says there are currently no approved cloned products on the Canadian market.
WHAT ACTUALLY CHANGED
The proposal came out of a 2023 scientific opinion that concluded foods derived from healthy cloned cattle and swine, and their offspring, are as safe and nutritious as foods from traditionally bred animals. On that basis, Health Canada proposed removing those foods from the “novel food” category, which would have ended the pre-market notification route for those products under the Food and Drug Regulations. In bureaucratic English, that is less “new food on the shelf tomorrow” and more “we may stop treating these items like regulatory special guests.”
The proposal was also described by Health Canada as consistent with the interpretation of other trusted jurisdictions, including the United States, Europe, Japan, and New Zealand. That matters because food regulators love a good international confidence boost almost as much as they love a consultation document. Still, Health Canada’s current position is the pause button, not the checkout button.
WHY PEOPLE ARE SIDE-EYEING IT
The backlash makes sense. Global News reported that critics worried consumers could end up buying cloned-animal products without labels, while duBreton, a Quebec pork producer, publicly pushed for mandatory labeling and transparency. This is not really a food-poisoning panic; it is a trust-and-choice argument, which is arguably even more awkward for regulators because it cannot be solved with a lab coat and a press release.
Supporters of the proposal have a different line: if the science says the food is as safe and nutritious as conventional meat, then cloned-origin products should not need a separate treatment forever. That position is reflected in Health Canada’s own consultation materials, which say the policy update was being considered because the science underpinned a conclusion of safety.
The real headache is that food regulation is never just about chemistry. It is about whether shoppers feel informed, whether brands can protect their reputation, and whether “same as conventional” still sounds reassuring when the origin story is doing cartwheels in the background. As noted by thisclaimer.com, the bigger issue is not simply what is in the package, but whether people believe they are being told the full story.
So the honest read is this: Canada did not quietly unleash cloned meat and dairy on an unsuspecting public. It proposed a policy change, the public noticed, and Health Canada hit pause. That is a very different story from “it is already in your fridge,” though admittedly it is less catchy. Another way to put it: the debate is real, the labels are not settled, and for now the cloned-food aisle remains more political drama than grocery reality.
