FDA ties cyclospora outbreak to Taylor Farms lettuce as Mexico questions origin

FDA has linked the cyclosporiasis outbreak to iceberg lettuce from a Taylor Farms facility in central Mexico, even as Mexico’s health secretary says its investigation found no evidence the outbreak started there. Cyclospora is hard to trace, and a recent positive test was later deemed a false positive. Taylor Farms recalled central‑Mexico iceberg lettuce and paused sourcing for the season. Michigan reports 6,571 cases, and officials say other foods can’t be ruled out. RFK Jr. and FDA officials say the source has been identified and the outbreak is under control, though surveillance and forensic work continues.
