US Cyclospora Outbreak: FDA Recalls Mexican Lettuce, Taylor Farms Cleared
A multi-state cyclosporiasis outbreak continues in the US, with public health authorities tracking its scope.

Health Secretary RFK Jr. claims the outbreak is controlled, a statement contradicted by expert projections of rising infection rates and the ongoing recall.
