FDA Closes Largest Recorded Cyclospora Outbreak, Finds Parasite at Taylor Farms
Original: Weekend Wrap-Up: FDA Closed the Largest Cyclospora Outbreak on Record and the Jalapeño Outbreak on the Same Friday, Found the Parasite in Taylor Farms’ Wastewater. The Files It Left Open Carry 675 Sick With No Food Named. And CDC Counts 76 in
The FDA announced on a single Friday that it had closed both the largest Cyclospora outbreak on record and a related jalapeño-linked outbreak, with investigators finding the parasite in wastewater at Taylor Farms. However, several Cyclospora investigations remain open, covering 675 reported illnesses with no food vehicle identified, while the CDC is separately counting 76 more cases. Food safety observers are pressing the agency on how many unanswered outbreak files remain.
Why now: The FDA's simultaneous closure of two major foodborne outbreaks, alongside hundreds of still-unexplained Cyclospora illnesses, is drawing fresh attention to produce safety.
