U.S. Authorities End the Lettuce Cyclospora Outbreak

TL;DR

Reuters files CDC declaring the iceberg-lettuce cyclospora outbreak over; ended is not a measles merge.

MSM Perspective

Reuters filed this lettuce cluster closed. FDA's how-it-entered inquiry continues.

X Perspective

Feeds treat an ended outbreak as all foodborne risk gone.

U.S. officials declared the largest recorded multistate cyclospora outbreak over. [1] Reuters filed it tied to recalled iceberg lettuce, with 12,883 illnesses, 570 hospitalizations, and two deaths in people with underlying conditions. [1] CDC cited a decline in new infections and recalled product past its dates. Print ended for this cluster. Do not print all foodborne risk gone.

The FDA investigation into how the parasite entered the supply remains open in Friday copy. [1] Ended is not a closed farm file. This lettuce cluster is not the unmerged measles ledger on another page. Print cyclospora ended. Leave measles unmerged.

Friday recap that treats one ended outbreak as a cleared summer is a feed, not Reuters. Print the lettuce cluster as over. Print the inquiry as not over.
