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

Taylor Farms linked to major Cyclospora outbreak in US

Cyclospora outbreak Taylor Farms food safety investigation lettuce contamination Cofepris

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has concluded its investigation into a major Cyclospora outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce. Inspectors identified the parasite in environmental samples at a Taylor Farms facility in Guanajuato, Mexico, specifically in a wastewater tank and a drainage ditch. The FDA stated that these findings provide “strong epidemiological data” linking the outbreak to the site, though the exact mechanism of contamination remains unclear.

The outbreak resulted in nearly 13,000 cases of illness across the United States, with the CDC declaring the outbreak over in September. Taylor Farms has attributed the contamination to an independent producer that is no longer part of its supplier program and noted that its central Mexican facilities remain closed to implement enhanced safety protocols.

Mexican health authorities, including Cofepris, have responded by stating that the environmental findings in Mexico do not conclusively prove that Mexican agricultural products were the source of the outbreak. Cofepris noted that previous laboratory analyses of raw materials, finished products, and water at the facility had returned negative results for Cyclospora.
