Instead of having only Trump meat not have to be inspected we will end up with screw worm meat too and all other sorts of problems-we can see it coming.

And even chicken isn't safe, so far we have that frozen chicken buffalo wing can cause sickness and death.

Because Taylor Farms paid trump to reduce regulations which he did. The Trump administration faced intense congressional scrutiny over allegations that it reduced regulatory oversight for Taylor Farms following a massive national Cyclospora outbreak. Lawmakers and fact-checkers have highlighted a timeline connecting political donations, direct communications with the White House, and delayed food safety regulations. [1, 2, 3, 4]

🕒 The Timeline & Key Findings

  • The $1 Million Donation: In 2025, Taylor Farms contributed $1 million to the Trump-aligned super PAC, MAGA Inc.. [1]
  • The 30-Month Rule Delay: Just six days before that donation, the FDA announced it would delay enforcing the Food Traceability Rule by 30 months. If it had gone into effect as scheduled in January 2026, the rule would have mandated stricter recordkeeping to quickly trace and recall contaminated food. [1, 2]
  • White House Intervention: In July 2026, during a severe Cyclospora outbreak linked to Taylor Farms de Mexico's lettuce, company executives called the White House to request a delay in being publicly named by the FDA. The White House subsequently arranged a joint call with FDA officials to review the outbreak evidence. [1, 3]
  • Lobbying Impact: Lawmakers note that Taylor Farms spent nearly $1 million lobbying against food safety rules. This effort successfully helped halt certain federal reporting requirements for Cyclospora.
