Cyclospora Outbreak Hits Nine States | Detroit News
Description
A massive cyclospora outbreak is spreading across nine U.S. states, linked to shredded iceberg lettuce from central Mexico. Symptoms include severe diarrhea and hospitalizations, with over 4,000 confirmed cases since May—and some states like Michigan reporting tens of thousands more. The tainted lettuce, sourced from Taylor Farms (which supplies Walmart, Target, and Taco Bell), has been recalled. With symptoms sometimes appearing weeks later, tracking the outbreak is tough—but this is the largest cyclospora outbreak on record, exposing just how fragile and far-reaching our food supply chain really is.
