Cyclospora outbreak and lettuce recall
Federal health officials identified a false positive in a sample of iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms, initially linked to a cyclospora outbreak. Despite this, Taylor Farms voluntarily recalled additional lettuce products sold at Walmart and used by Taco Bell, which were connected to the outbreak that has sickened over 1,600 people across 34 states. The outbreak is caused by the parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis, leading to gastrointestinal illness, with some cases requiring hospitalization. Authorities continue testing and investigating to determine the true source of the outbreak.
