Fifth state linked to cyclosporiasis outbreak, investigation still focused on lettuce

Pre-shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms (central Mexico) is the focus of the investigation even after one Taylor Farms sample returned a false-positive — the FDA says the probe and traceback still point to that product.
The outbreak has expanded to five states (now including Indiana); CDC-linked counts show at least ~1,500 cases, while Michigan alone reports 6,148 suspected cases, suggesting the true total may be much higher.
Cyclospora causes severe, sometimes prolonged diarrhea and requires a specific stool test to detect — doctors urge testing if symptoms persist and consumers may want to be cautious with ready-to-eat salad mixes.
