Hawaii reports fifth cyclosporiasis case of 2026 amid ongoing outbreak checks

The Hawaii Department of Health confirms a fifth cyclosporiasis case in 2026, a military member who traveled internationally; it’s unclear where infection occurred and public risk remains low. Four cases are confirmed and one is probable, with no known connection between the fourth and fifth cases. A low-level Cyclospora signal was found in Hilo wastewater, but this does not prove local infection. Separately, a multistate outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico has prompted recalls; Hawaii reports no cases linked to the recall, and most illnesses began before the recall.

Michigan ends lettuce warning as cyclosporiasis cases fall

Michigan health officials say residents can return to their usual salad routines, including bagged salads, as cyclosporiasis cases in the state fall (12,485 cases since June with 279 hospitalizations and two deaths). The majority of illness occurred in late June–early July and contaminated produce is likely no longer in distribution. The CDC linked the outbreak to shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico, with initial reports across about 15 states and the FDA recalling central-Mexico iceberg lettuce distributed to roughly 27 states. Consumers should still avoid recalled lettuce and, when possible, buy whole heads, discard outer leaves, and thoroughly wash inner greens; four Michigan cases are part of an unrelated Salmonella outbreak tied to jalapeños.

Michigan records two cyclosporiasis deaths amid lettuce-linked outbreak

Michigan officials say two people who contracted cyclosporiasis have died; both had significant underlying conditions and dehydration may have contributed. The outbreak—linked to iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico—has produced more than 11,000 Michigan cases and 193 hospitalizations since early May and is part of a nationwide surge across roughly 45 states. The FDA notes the deaths occurred with case data predating Taylor Farms’ July recall of central-Mexico iceberg lettuce; treatment for cyclosporiasis usually involves the antibiotic Bactrim, though healthy individuals may recover without it.

Nine-state Cyclospora Outbreak Linked to Mexican Lettuce Expands

The CDC has added Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania to a multistate cyclospora outbreak tied to shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico, expanding the nine-state cluster linked to Taco Bell. Investigators are tracing how contaminated product moved through the supply chain and whether more restaurants or retailers were affected. North Carolina is exploring parsley and cilantro as possible sources in some illnesses, while the FDA reports a separate outbreak with at least 72 cases. Nationally, confirmed Cyclospora cases have surged with thousands of illnesses already counted and many more under review; officials note that illness onset can occur weeks after exposure and contamination can happen pre-harvest or during processing.
