Taylor Farms, in its statement, said “Today, FDA apologized to us.” "Yesterday, FDA informed Taylor Fresh Foods that one of its iceberg lettuce products from central Mexico had a "confirmed positive" test for cyclospora.

We are committed to working with public health authorities as the ongoing outbreak investigation continues,” Taylor Farms concluded.News of ‘false positive’ sparks fears
Meanwhile, with no origin traced yet, many began to panic about the cyclospora outbreak. “The FDA currently has no positive sample results and Taylor Farms has already recalled all their lettuce across 27 states,” one noted. A chef meanwhile offered some advice “only eat salad from whole lettuce heads grown in USA.” Meanwhile, some still expressed that they did not trust Taylor Farms' products even though the FDA found nothing wrong with their lettuce. “I don’t even know why they’re doing all this because at least at the grocery store, I won’t trust Taylor Farms anymore,” one person angrily wrote. The cyclosporiasis outbreak has been going on in multiple states and is linked to the Cyclospora cayetanensis parasite. Many people have been since May. While Michigan reported a significant number of cases, it is among a total of 30 states impacted by this outbreak. Ohio, Illinois, and New York also reported similar cases. The symptoms of cyclosporiasis include prolonged watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, fatigue, and weight loss. While the infection is rarely fatal, there might be dehydration and hospital care could be needed, especially for individuals who are vulnerable.
