Oregon Reports 2 Cyclospora Cases Tied to Lettuce Recall
Health officials say the risk remains low as investigators trace the outbreak to contaminated pre-shredded iceberg lettuce.
- Two Oregon residents contracted Cyclospora infections after traveling to states involved in a nationwide recall of pre-shredded iceberg lettuce, according to the Oregon Health Authority.
- The parasite outbreak linked to lettuce has spread to 9 states, prompting The CDC and Food and Drug Administration to investigate the supply chain involved in the recall.
- So far this year, Oregon Health Authority officials report 23 cases of cyclosporiasis, a figure consistent with recent years and showing no unusual spike in the state.
- The CDC and Food and Drug Administration are interviewing patients about foods consumed two weeks before illness, though officials are not releasing details about the two patients.
- OHA recommends washing hands and produce thoroughly to lower foodborne illness risk, emphasizing that Cyclospora cannot be spread directly from one person to another.
