FDA says lettuce still likely source of cyclospora outbreak despite false positive test
ONP Summary
Federal health officials retested a lettuce sample from Taylor Farms that initially tested positive for cyclospora, but determined the positive result was a false positive. The multistate outbreak continues sickening thousands, and while Taylor Farms' voluntary 27-state recall of shredded lettuce remains in place, investigators still have not identified a confirmed source of the parasitic illness.
Progressive:Agency Misstep — Progressive outlets focused on the FDA's testing error and apology, highlighting a procedural failure in investigating the outbreak.
Moderate:Test Revision — Moderate outlets reported the false positive as a corrected result from standard laboratory review.
Conservative:Investigation Reset — Conservative outlets emphasized how the false positive leaves the outbreak investigation back at the beginning with no confirmed source identified.
The FDA said signs still point to Taylor Farms shredded iceberg lettuce as the likely culprit of the cyclospora outbreak despite an earlier test on a sample that was a false positive.
