Washington Post Scooped Federal Agencies on Cyclospora Outbreak

Original: The Washington Post Has Been the CDC of the Cyclospora Outbreak Since July. Lena Sun Had Taco Bell Two Days Before the Agencies Said It, Taylor Farms the Day Before FDA Named It, Nine States and Then Fifteen Before Any Federal Page Did, and on F

Food safety lawyer Bill Marler says Washington Post reporter Lena Mun... Lena Sun broke key details of the cyclospora outbreak well before official announcements. The Post reported Taco Bell's involvement two days before agencies confirmed it, named Taylor Farms a day before the FDA did, and reported the outbreak spreading across nine, then fifteen states, before federal pages were updated.

Why now: The Post's reporting outpaced CDC and FDA announcements, raising questions about the speed of official outbreak communications.
