Cyclospora outbreak turns food safety into midterm election issue
Original: Food safety and cyclospora outbreak become midterm election issues
A cyclospora outbreak linked to contaminated food has become a talking point in US midterm election campaigns, with candidates and commentators debating government food safety oversight and regulators' response to the illness. The outbreak, which causes intestinal infections, has put public health funding and inspection practices on the campaign trail.
Why now: The outbreak has handed candidates a public health and regulatory failure to campaign on ahead of the midterms.
