According to the article, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has identified cases of cyclospora illness linked to recalled iceberg lettuce in three additional states: Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas. This brings the total number of states affected by the outbreak to 20, marking the largest outbreak of its kind in the United States. The number of people sickened by the parasite has increased to 11,458, up from approximately 10,900 reported the previous week.

The FDA, in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state health officials, has focused its investigation on lettuce grown at a farm in central Mexico operated by Taylor Farms, a major U.S. produce supplier. FDA staffers are continuing to inspect and test produce at the farm, working alongside Mexican government officials. The agency stated that it remains confident that all recalled iceberg lettuce related to this specific cyclospora outbreak has been removed from the market. The article also notes that cyclospora is a microscopic parasite that causes watery diarrhea and is more prevalent during late spring and summer. Source
