Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Under Control | Charleston News
Description
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declares the multistate cyclosporiasis outbreak under control after federal investigators traced it to contaminated shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms in central Mexico — now voluntarily recalled. Though the FDA initially flagged a false positive, it reaffirms its findings, linking the outbreak to Taco Bell locations across several states. The CDC reports 1,645 confirmed cases and 141 hospitalizations, with over 5,100 additional cases under investigation — no deaths reported. Cyclosporiasis, a parasite-driven intestinal illness, spreads via contaminated food or water, not person-to-person.
