Cyclospora outbreak connected to lettuce ends
The CDC has declared the end of the largest nationwide cyclosporiasis outbreak, which was linked to lettuce and resulted in over 19,000 cases across 49 states and Washington, D.C. Since May 1, the outbreak caused at least two deaths and over 1,000 hospitalizations, with a confirmed source identified as iceberg lettuce produced by Taylor Farms in Mexico. While investigations continue into other clusters, the outbreak is considered over as contaminated lettuce is no longer available in stores or restaurants.
