Taylor Farms expands a recall of potentially contaminated shredded iceberg lettuce to 27 states, as U.S. health officials continue investigating a Cyclospora outbreak. Multiple news reports say the recalled products were distributed under several brands and that shipments reaching retailers include product sent as recently as Thursday. The recall expands the set of locations where consumers are advised not to eat the affected items while authorities work to identify the source of contamination.
Reporting also indicates the outbreak remains under active review and that additional cases are still expected as illness can appear days after exposure. The Guardian notes the U.S. may see at least another two weeks of possible cases, given that infections may have occurred in the days before earlier alerts. While the company and outlets do not provide a definitive list of where the lettuce was served or sold, the broader distribution footprint and the mention of multiple brands underscore the wide reach of the affected products.
Authorities say the investigation may identify other potentially related products in the coming days.
