San Diego, California dodge cyclosporiasis outbreak as FDA focuses on shredded lettuce as culprit

The FDA is investigating a nationwide cyclosporiasis outbreak caused by the Cyclospora parasite. Authorities identified Mexican-grown lettuce delivered to Taco Bell by Taylor Farms as the potential culprit. Consequently, some shredded iceberg lettuce is being pulled from the market to prevent further illness. While the outbreak has spread across the country, San Diego, California has managed to dodge the impact of this specific intestinal disorder as the federal agency focuses on the contaminated shredded lettuce.
