Cyclospora found at Mexican farm linked to lettuce outbreak, FDA says

The US Food and Drug Administration announced on Friday that inspectors detected cyclospora at a Mexican farm linked to a major foodborne illness outbreak involving lettuce. The parasite was identified at the facility blamed for causing the largest outbreak of cyclospora in United States history.

The announcement by US officials follows a declaration by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that the outbreak has ended. The incident ultimately infected nearly 13,000 people across the country.
