Over 11,000 Americans across 41 states are sick from a tiny parasite called cyclospora, causing brutal stomach pain and diarrhea that lasts weeks. The FDA suspects contaminated iceberg lettuce from Mexico, distributed nationwide, sparked a major outbreak. Cyclospora thrives in unsanitary conditions, and raw produce is a top source of foodborne illness. Though the industry has adopted stricter safety measures like the Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement, outbreaks still happen due to outdoor farming and environmental contaminants. Government food safety resources are being cut, and a key traceability rule is delayed until 2028. Experts warn this is a national wake-up call — avoid bagged salads for now, and demand stronger public health protections.
