FDA confirms cyclospora-linked lettuce sample from Taylor Farms was false positive

The FDA confirmed a sample of Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce linked to a cyclosporiasis outbreak was a false positive, retracting prior claims. A voluntary recall of specific Taylor Farms products sold at Taco Bell and Walmart was issued, but no cyclospora contamination has been confirmed in tested samples. The CDC reports cyclosporiasis cases in 34 states, with Michigan reporting over 4,300 cases as of July 16.
