FDA ends lettuce parasite probe, blames Mexico facility
Original: US FDA closes lettuce parasite probe, links outbreak to Mexico facility
The US Food and Drug Administration has closed its investigation into an outbreak of a lettuce-borne parasite, tracing the contamination to a facility in Mexico. The regulator did not announce new enforcement action, but the finding closes the case on an outbreak that sickened consumers across several US states and drew attention to produce supply-chain safety.
Why now: The FDA's official closure of the investigation and identification of the Mexican source is fresh regulatory news of concern to consumers and the produce industry.
