Part of situation: FDA concludes Cyclospora investigation into Taylor Farms (59 clusters)

Cyclospora outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce spreads to 20 states

Cyclospora outbreak iceberg lettuce recall Taylor Farms foodborne illness parasitic infection

A massive cyclosporiasis outbreak in the United States, linked to recalled iceberg lettuce, has expanded to 20 states. Federal health officials from the FDA and CDC have confirmed cases in several new locations, including Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas. The outbreak has sickened over 11,000 people, with 922 hospitalizations and two deaths reported in Michigan.

Investigations are focused on iceberg lettuce grown at a farm in central Mexico and operated by Taylor Farms, a major U.S. produce supplier. The FDA is currently inspecting and testing products at the Mexican facility in coordination with the Mexican government. While the agency expressed confidence that all recalled lettuce has been removed from the market, experts note that the risk of contamination is not zero.

As of late August, the CDC reported 17,180 laboratory-confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis across 48 states and Washington, D.C. An additional 11,800 infections remain unconfirmed or under investigation. The parasite, Cyclospora cayetanensis, causes gastrointestinal distress such as watery diarrhea and is often linked to warm environments and contaminated food or water.
