FDA Closes Record Cyclospora Outbreaks, Links Parasite to Taylor Farms
Original: Weekend Wrap-Up: FDA Closed the Largest Cyclospora Outbreak on Record and the Jalapeño Outbreak on the Same Friday, Found the Parasite in Taylor Farms’ Wastewater. The Files It Left Open Carry 675 Sick With No Food Named. And CDC Counts 76 in
The FDA announced on a single Friday that it had closed the largest Cyclospora outbreak on record as well as a related jalapeño-linked outbreak, with investigators finding the parasite in wastewater at Taylor Farms. Six hundred seventy-five people fell ill in outbreaks that were closed without a food source ever being named, while the CDC continues to count additional cases, with 76 reported in an ongoing investigation. Food safety observers are pressing the agency over how many cases remain unresolved.
Why now: The dual closure of record-breaking outbreaks, an unresolved 675-case tally with no food identified, and the Taylor Farms wastewater finding have put fresh attention on FDA food safety investigations.
