Central Mexican state with a historic path through Independence and a modern, diversified economy
The multistate cyclospora outbreak is now linked to iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms’ central Mexico operations and has affected at least nine states, with thousands of cases and hundreds of hospitalizations reported. Taylor Farms has issued a voluntary recall, and FDA and CDC investigations continue as officials warn consumers to avoid recalled lettuce.
The FDA has closed its investigation into the Taylor Farms cyclospora outbreak linked to lettuce. Investigators found cyclospora in a wastewater tank and a drainage ditch at the Taylor Farms site in Guanajuato, Mexico, but the agency says it is unclear how contamination occurred. The outbreak had caused nearly 13,000 illnesses across the United States.
