Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Linked to Lettuce | Richmond News

A nationwide cyclosporiasis outbreak has sickened nearly 2,000 people and hospitalized 100, with iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico flagged as the likely source. The FDA has recalled the lettuce in 27 states, prompting Taylor Farms to halt sourcing from central Mexico and review safety protocols. While officials say the situation is under control, former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb warns it’s not fully resolved. A Richmond restaurant, New York Deli, stayed unaffected by sourcing local lettuce from Virginia. Experts urge caution: if you’re experiencing symptoms, see a doctor and report it to your local health department.
