Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that a cyclosporiasis outbreak in the U.S. is “under control,” despite ongoing investigations into the sickness affecting thousands. The FDA has linked the outbreak to shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms in Mexico, although Mexican health officials report no evidence of the outbreak’s origin in their country. As of now, there are over 6,500 reported cases in Michigan alone, prompting Taylor Farms to voluntarily recall affected products. The search for the source continues as health experts express concerns about reduced surveillance efforts for foodborne illnesses.
