Taylor Farms and similar large suppliers have become so central to the US food system that any contamination quickly affects millions of consumers. Growing consolidation in the supply chain complicates the response to foodborne illnesses such as cyclosporiasis. Experts warn that the dominance of single suppliers amplifies the impact of any contamination event.
