FDA Investigates New Cyclospora Outbreak With 72 Cases as Michigan Cases Climb Past 7,000
The Food and Drug Administration said it is investigating a new outbreak of the diarrhea-causing parasite cyclospora, with 72 cases tied to a food product that remains unidentified.
The new inquiry runs alongside a separate cyclosporiasis outbreak in Michigan that state health officials report has surpassed 7,000 cases. The gastrointestinal illness continues to expand across multiple Midwestern states, with daily infections adding hundreds to the total as investigators trace the contamination to shredded iceberg lettuce.
