Cyclospora outbreak emerges as midterm election issue
Original: Food safety and cyclospora outbreak become midterm election issues
A cyclospora outbreak and broader food safety concerns are being drawn into the US midterm election campaign, with candidates and commentators using the contamination episodes to question regulatory oversight of the food supply. The outbreak, linked to contaminated produce in past years, has turned a public health story into a political one ahead of the vote.
Why now: Foodborne illness outbreaks are being politicised as candidates fault government oversight ahead of the midterms.
