Frequently Asked Questions
What does Taylor Detector do?
Taylor Detector checks whether a product's brand has a documented connection to Taylor Farms — either under Taylor Farms' own name, or through a private-label retailer brand such as Marketside (Walmart), 365 (Whole Foods Market), or select Trader Joe's and H-E-B produce items.
Is Earthbound Farm owned by Taylor Farms?
Yes. Earthbound Farm is a fully owned Taylor Farms subsidiary.
Does Taylor Farms supply produce sold under other store brands?
For some products, yes. Taylor Farms has documented supply relationships with several retailer private-label brands — but not necessarily across everything a retailer sells under that name. A Marketside salad kit and a Marketside frozen waffle, for example, don't share the same supply chain.
Can't I just look for "TF" on the product code?
Not reliably, no. It's true that some Taylor Farms products do carry codes starting with TF, TFRS, or similar prefixes — that's been confirmed on genuine Taylor Farms and Marketside packaging. But relying on this to identify products yourself has real problems: there's no published, standardized key for consumers to check against, the format varies by plant and product line, and a bag *without* a TF-style code isn't proof it's unrelated either. A fact-check by Snopes reached the same conclusion — lot codes aren't a trustworthy way to identify the manufacturer on your own. That's the gap Taylor Detector is built to close: checking against actual recall records and verified reporting, not decoding packaging on the fly.
Is Taylor Detector affiliated with Taylor Farms?
No. Taylor Detector is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Taylor Farms, Walmart, Whole Foods, or any other brand mentioned on this site.
Where does this data come from?
Public sources: FDA and USDA recall records, credible news reporting, and Open Food Facts' product database — plus user-submitted reports, which are verified before anything is added.
How can I report an issue?
After scanning a product, tap "Something wrong with this result?" on the result screen. It's a quick form, no account needed, and it automatically includes the barcode and result so you don't have to re-type anything.
