FDA traces cyclospora outbreak to lettuce

Original: FDA identifies source of cyclospora outbreak linked to lettuce

The US Food and Drug Administration has identified the source of a cyclospora outbreak, linking it to lettuce. Cyclospora is a parasitic infection that causes intestinal illness, and produce-linked outbreaks periodically trigger recalls and health advisories in the United States. Regulators are expected to provide further guidance as the investigation continues, and consumers are being warned to stay alert to affected products.

Why now: A food safety outbreak linked to a common grocery staple raises immediate public health concerns.
