Michigan Cyclosporiasis Cases Rise 11% in a Week to Nearly 14,000
Michigan health officials reported a roughly 11% weekly rise as the state remained the main source of cases in the multi-state outbreak.
- On Thursday, Michigan reported 13,909 cyclosporiasis cases, an increase of roughly 11 per cent from last week, though state officials noted the rise largely reflects a processing backlog in testing.
- Linked to iceberg lettuce sourced from Taylor Farms operations in Mexico, the multistate outbreak of the parasitic illness continues to affect 47 states across the United States.
- Individuals aged 30 to 39 account for 2,615 infections, with 314 hospitalizations reported statewide; Michigan officials previously confirmed two deaths among patients with significant underlying health conditions.
- Acting FDA Commissioner Kyle Diamantas urged confidence in produce safety after finalizing new guidance, even as lettuce producer prices plunged 73 per cent in July due to dropping demand.
- Demanding communication records between the administration and Taylor, Senator Elizabeth Warren questioned the federal response on Thursday amid concerns that political lobbying may have hampered food safety oversight.
