Washington Post Reported Cyclospora Outbreak Links Before Federal Agencies

Original: The Washington Post Has Been the CDC of the Cyclospora Outbreak Since July. Lena Sun Had Taco Bell Two Days Before the Agencies Said It, Taylor Farms the Day Before FDA Named It, Nine States and Then Fifteen Before Any Federal Page Did, and on F

Food safety lawyer Bill Marler is criticizing federal agencies for lagging behind press coverage of a Cyclospora outbreak. He notes that Washington Post reporter Lena Sun reported a Taco Bell connection two days before agencies confirmed it, and Taylor Farms the day before the FDA named it, with state counts also appearing in the paper first. Marler argues the CDC and FDA are moving too slowly in a multi-state foodborne illness investigation.

Why now: The public health agencies' slow public updates on a foodborne outbreak are drawing criticism, especially amid government communication slowdowns.
