Maine CDC confirms ten lettuce-linked cyclosporiasis cases amid national outbreak

On August 10, the Maine Center for Disease Control confirmed ten cases of cyclosporiasis linked to recalled shredded iceberg lettuce, adding to the multistate outbreak that began in May. Health officials have tracked the outbreak to more than 23,000 confirmed and probable infections across 47 states, with the CDC reporting a rise to over 22,000 cases earlier this month. Two fatalities were recorded in Michigan, the first deaths in the largest U.

S. outbreak, according to state health authorities. Federal investigators traced the source to shredded iceberg lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms, prompting a recall of over 236,000 units and leading major distributors such as Sysco to halt purchases of Mexican-grown lettuce.
