July 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Sunday that laboratory experts ​re-checked lettuce sample results from Taylor Farms in an ‌investigation into an outbreak of the cyclospora parasite and concluded the finding should be considered a false positive. As of Sunday, there were no confirmed ​positive sample results for cyclospora, the FDA added.

The FDA on ​Saturday had said that a sample of shredded iceberg lettuce ⁠supplied by Taylor Farms tested positive for the parasitic illness ​that has sickened thousands of people in the U.S.

A spokesperson ​for Taylor Fresh Foods told Reuters that the company was informed the FDA made a mistake.

    I’m still a fan of the cheesy double beef burrito. Super basic, but it hits the spot every time.

    Slightly unrelated, but if you have a chance to go to the Taco Bell Cantina on the Vegas Strip, absolutely do it. The quality is miles better than an average location (my brother and I said it must be like the corporate kitchen equivalent), they have alcohol, and you can walk around the Strip before/after.

      Thanks for the tip… I have a couple of Taco Bell tips to pass along.

      First, I don’t know the science behind this, but if you mix Baja Blast with Pink Lemonaid, the pink and blue turn clear.

      Second, a few weeks ago I picked up some powered THC and sprinkled that into a chili cheese burrito… might just be one of the greatest things I’ve ever done.

      A grilled cheesy double beef burrito is basically a steak grilled cheese burrito for like half the price. It’s my go-to these days.
