On Friday, U.S. health authorities announced the conclusion of the nation’s largest recorded multistate outbreak of cyclosporiasis.
The outbreak, which was linked to contaminated iceberg lettuce, resulted in nearly 13,000 confirmed cases across several states.
The Food and Drug Administration confirmed that the implicated lettuce had been removed from the market as part of the response.
Federal and state health officials had been monitoring the situation, conducting investigations to identify the source and to prevent further spread of the parasite.
With the removal of the contaminated product and a marked decline in new infections, officials now consider the outbreak resolved, while continued surveillance remains in place to detect any additional cases.
