Cyclospora Outbreak Hits Nine States | Pittsburgh News
Description
A massive cyclospora outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce from central Mexico has sickened thousands across nine U.S. states, with cases surging past 4,000 confirmed nationwide — far exceeding annual averages. Taylor Farms, a major supplier to major retailers and fast food chains, voluntarily recalled all affected lettuce as health officials scramble to track symptoms that can appear weeks after exposure. Michigan alone reports over 7,600 cases, while CDC estimates nearly 2,000 illnesses tied to this specific outbreak alone. With symptoms lingering and sources still being investigated, this is already the largest cyclospora outbreak in U.S. history.
