Taylor Farms' Trump donation followed by FDA warning reversal
Original: 1. Taylor Farms gave $1 million to Trump's PAC. 2. Bruce Taylor met with Trump on 07/16. 3. The FDA reversed its warning
Critics are accusing produce giant Taylor Farms of buying favorable treatment after a $1 million donation to Donald Trump's PAC and a July 16 meeting between company head Bruce Taylor and Trump, days before the FDA reportedly reversed a food safety warning about the company on July 19. Opponents are calling for a boycott and questioning FDA independence.
Why now: The apparent sequence of donation, meeting, and regulatory reversal fuels corruption concerns in US political debate.
