FDA identifies lettuce as likely source of cyclosporiasis outbreak

Original: FDA finds potential source of cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to lettuce

The US Food and Drug Administration says it has found a potential source of a cyclosporiasis outbreak, linking the intestinal illness to lettuce. Cyclospora infections cause diarrhea, fatigue and flu-like symptoms and have repeatedly been tied to fresh produce in past US outbreaks. Health officials are working to trace the supply chain and determine which growers or distributors are affected.

Why now: A federal agency has pinpointed a likely cause of a foodborne illness outbreak, raising public concern about produce safety.
