FDA Finds Cyclospora at Mexican Farms Tied to Lettuce Outbreak
Original: FDA Finds Cyclospora at Mexico Sites Linked to Iceberg Lettuce Outbreak, Announces New Prevention Efforts
The FDA says inspections found Cyclospora at Mexican growing sites linked to an outbreak of infections connected to iceberg lettuce. The agency is also announcing new prevention efforts aimed at tightening food safety controls in the produce supply chain. The findings point to contamination at the source rather than later in processing or distribution.
Why now: A food safety agency linked an active illness outbreak to specific foreign growing sites and is rolling out new prevention measures.
