US cyclospora outbreak tops 8,100 cases as lettuce probe widens
What's new: The CDC warned consumers not to eat recalled Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico.
A multistate cyclospora outbreak in the United States has grown to more than 8,100 cases, with Michigan reporting the heaviest toll as investigators keep focusing on iceberg lettuce. The CDC warned people not to eat recalled Taylor Farms lettuce sourced from central Mexico after illnesses spread across multiple states. The FDA said over the weekend that a test had indicated cyclospora in the product, then retracted that finding as a false positive. Health experts say the inquiry could take months because symptoms often appear weeks after exposure, making it hard to trace what patients ate and identify a common source.
