The FDA walked back a positive cyclospora test on Taylor Farms lettuce as a lab error, but insists its outbreak investigation still points squarely at the company's iceberg lettuce from central Mexico.

On Saturday, word went public that a sample of Taylor Farms shredded iceberg lettuce had tested positive for cyclospora, the parasite behind a sprawling foodborne illness outbreak that has now reached 34 states. By Sunday, the FDA reversed course, announcing the result was a false positive. On Monday, the agency issued a clarifying statement emphasizing that the retraction changes nothing about the broader case against Taylor Farms. The FDA's Monday statement was…Open

What followed was a roughly thirty-minute confrontation with officials in the tournament scoring area that, by multiple accounts, crossed from competitive frustration into something far stranger. …Open

A second shows Rodgers and his father, Ed Rodgers, standing side by side, arms around each other's backs, also smiling. No press conference. No prepared statement. Just a couple of family…Open
