Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Guidance
August 2026 - The USDA Food Safety Branch has provided guidance on the Cyclosporiasis outbreak. Current federal guidance, including recommendations from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), advises washing all raw produce, including produce labeled as pre‑washed. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also issued consumer and retail-level guidance for operators, including school nutrition professionals. These recommendations include following basic food safety practices:
- Cyclospora generally spreads through human fecal matter, therefore individuals with symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea should not handle food in retail establishments or at home as a way in which to reduce contamination.
- Wash hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling food and following any cleaning and sanitation processes.
- To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, clean and sanitize food contact surfaces and utensils regularly and frequently. Wash and sanitize cutting boards, surfaces, and utensils before and after handling food, as well as whenever they have been used for potentially contaminated products. Additionally, wash and sanitize display cases and refrigerators where potentially contaminated products have been stored.
- When washing raw produce, including items labeled as pre‑washed, it is important to follow best practices. These include thoroughly washing hands, using clean utensils, and ensuring that all equipment is properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized before and after use. For additional support, refer to the Institute of Child Nutrition (ICN) resource on washing fruits and vegetables and general produce safety best practices.
- FDA recommends not using commercial produce washes. If produce washing chemicals are used, all manufacturer’s label use directions must be followed.
- For produce that can be cooked, heating to at least 158°F is the safest option. Cyclospora is resistant to routine chemical disinfection, and washing alone cannot guarantee removal. The parasite cannot survive at elevated temperatures.
- Taylor Farms’ voluntary recall information was sent to KSDE listservs on July 20. Recalled products should no longer be available for sale. If you previously purchased or received food items with recalled iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico, carefully clean and sanitize any surfaces or containers that it touched.

Taylor Fresh Foods Recalls Iceberg Lettuce from Central Mexico Because of Possible Health Risk | FDA
July 17, 2026 - Taylor Farms de Mexico of Guanajuato, Mexico is voluntarily removing all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico from the U.S. market, because it has the potential to be contaminated with Cyclospora. Most people infected with Cyclospora develop diarrhea, with frequent bowel movements. Other common symptoms include loss of appetite, weight loss, stomach cramps/pain, bloating, increased gas, nausea, and fatigue. Vomiting, body aches, headache, and fever may be noted. Some people who are infected with Cyclospora do not have any symptoms. If not treated, the illness may lead to dehydration and severe complications that may require higher levels of care. These complications may last from a few days to a month or longer. Symptoms may seem to go away and then return one or more times (relapse). Immunocompromised persons may experience more severe illness of longer duration along with complications requiring close medical attention.
This action was prompted by the multistate Cyclospora outbreak https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/investigation-5-state-outbreakcyclospora-illnesses-iceberg-lettuce-july-2026. Taylor Fresh Foods is actively removing the implicated products.
