## Resource

The U.S. just wrapped up its biggest cyclospora outbreak ever — with nearly 13,000 confirmed cases and over 6,000 suspected, mostly tied to recalled iceberg lettuce from central Mexico. Though Taco Bell was initially blamed, the FDA’s investigation remains inconclusive as lab results are pending. The parasite causes severe diarrhea and disproportionately hit Michigan, where two deaths occurred. With cases surging 16x since May — fueled by contaminated soil or water — this outbreak underscores a troubling drop in international food inspections, leaving Americans vulnerable to unseen threats on their plates.
