Chlorthalidone is a diuretic used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention. Patients are advised to stop using the affected product and consult their healthcare provider for an alternative.

FDA flags false-positive cyclosporiasis result, reshaping outbreak link to iceberg lettuce

Delaware reports its first cyclosporiasis case this year as part of a multistate outbreak still under investigation; nationwide cases exceed 1,600 with 94 hospitalizations, though many infections go unreported.

RFK Jr: Cyclospora outbreak under control after FDA flips lettuce recall decision

US health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. says the cyclospora outbreak is under control after the FDA reversed a 27-state shredded iceberg lettuce recall as a false positive. CDC data show 34 states affected with over 1,600 confirmed and about 5,100 pending cases, with Michigan heavily hit. The administration’s forensics identified a likely source and the involved companies implemented recalls, while critics note CDC response delays linked to prior budget and staff cuts to public health programs and surveillance.
