Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Declared Over | Wilmington News
Description
A massive cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce has officially ended, with over 12,000 people affected across 21 states, 570 hospitalizations, and 2 deaths — though those individuals had serious pre-existing conditions. The CDC confirms no further risk as recalled products are gone from shelves. The FDA is still investigating how contamination occurred, tracing it to Taylor Farms’ lettuce from central Mexico, which Taco Bell had been using. Inspections and lab tests are ongoing in Mexico to uncover the root cause and prevent future outbreaks.
