"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."
