IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM PYX HEALTH WITH FARMBOXRX
REGARDING THE CYCLOSPORA OUTBREAK
Pyx Health’s Boxes Have Not Been Linked to the Ongoing Cyclospora Outbreak
None of the fresh produce currently offered in our boxes has been connected to the ongoing Cyclospora outbreak. Taylor Farms, a supplier linked to contaminated iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico, is not one of our produce suppliers. Our food distribution partners and leadership teams are carefully monitoring the updates released by the CDC and FDA. We will reach out directly if anything changes.
Should I skip my Box this month due to ongoing Cyclospora concerns?
We don’t believe that’s necessary at this time, as our produce is not connected to the items linked to the current outbreak, recall or investigation. That said, we always recommend washing all fresh produce thoroughly under running water and discarding the outer leaves on leafy greens. Please see additional safe handling tips below. We’re monitoring this situation daily and will reach out directly if anything changes.
What are the known sources of the Cyclospora outbreak?
The CDC and FDA are actively investigating the source(s) of the outbreak. Taylor Farms de Mexico announced on July 17, 2026 that it was recalling iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico from the U.S. Market. Pyx Health’s produce was not impacted by the recall nor has our produce been identified as part of any potentially impacted supply. Please refer to CDC.gov and fda.gov for the most up-to-date information, as the federal investigations are ongoing. https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/investigations-foodborne-illness-outbreaks
