## Resource

A major lettuce recall sparked by a false positive cyclospora test has left health officials scrambling — and consumers wondering if their salads were safe. Taylor Farms pulled iceberg lettuce from central Mexico after a lab result flagged the parasite, triggering a nationwide alert that sickened over 1,600 people across 34 states. Taco Bell and Walmart followed suit, removing implicated products as a precaution. But here’s the twist: the FDA retested the original sample and called it a false positive — no confirmed cyclospora found in any of their tests. The outbreak, which has caused nasty watery illness and hit some states like Michigan with over 5,000 cases, continues to be investigated — all while the initial scare may have been based on a lab error.
