FDA finds cyclospora at Taylor Farms Mexico site
Original: FDA found cyclospora at Taylor Farms Mexico site and where lettuce was grown
US Food and Drug Administration investigators say they detected cyclospora, a parasite that causes intestinal illness, at a Taylor Farms facility in Mexico and traced the lettuce involved to the fields where it was grown. The findings tie recent cyclosporiasis outbreaks to contaminated produce and are likely to prompt scrutiny of safety practices across the fresh produce supply chain.
Why now: Health regulators have publicly linked a foodborne illness outbreak to a specific grower and source region, raising food safety concerns.
