False Alarm, But Investigation Continues | Spokane News

A false positive lab result sent shockwaves through the food safety world — but the real story is far from over. Taylor Farms, a major salad producer, issued a voluntary recall after a lettuce sample tested positive for cyclospora, a parasite causing explosive diarrhea in nearly 7,000 people nationwide. But the FDA quickly clarified it was a lab error — yet the investigation into Taylor Farms’ lettuce from central Mexico remains active. Officials are still urging consumers to avoid iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico and to wash all produce thoroughly. With cyclospora notoriously hard to detect, the hunt for the true source of this massive outbreak continues, as regulators scramble to prevent more illnesses.
