FDA reports new cyclospora outbreak as North Carolina eyes cilantro, parsley

Federal health officials have opened a new traceback into a cyclospora outbreak, but the contaminated product hasn’t been identified yet.
Thousands of cyclosporiasis cases have been reported nationwide since May, with state counts varying widely.
Investigations have focused on leafy herbs and greens (parsley, cilantro, lettuce); one major recall involved Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce — cooking kills the parasite, but washing may not.
