Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Linked to Fast Food | Orlando News
Description
A massive cyclosporiasis outbreak is sweeping the nation, with Michigan reporting over 2,600 cases — the state’s largest in history. Investigators point to lettuce or salad greens as the likely source, though other foods remain under review. A major fast-food chain is now under federal and state scrutiny, after some locations voluntarily removed lettuce and pico de gallo amid a “national recall” — though the company insists no official link has been confirmed. Health officials urge caution with greens, recommending whole heads and discarding outer leaves, and advise cooking produce to kill the parasite. No deaths have been reported in this outbreak, but symptoms can include prolonged watery diarrhea. The investigation continues.
