A twist has emerged in the investigation into the cyclosporiasis outbreak that has sickened thousands of Americans.<\/p>\n

Mexico\u2019s health minister has pushed back against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration\u2019s finding that the lettuce consumed by people who fell ill was sourced in central Mexico.<\/p>\n

\n

Last week, the FDA said its traceback investigation identified Taylor Farms de Mexico as the sole supplier to the Taco Bell locations where sick people ate shredded iceberg lettuce before getting sick. The company shortly announced a voluntary recall of all iceberg lettuce sourced from Mexico from the U.S. market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

On Tuesday, however, Mexican Health Minister David Kershenobich said no evidence has been found showing that the produce originated from the central Mexican state of Guanajuato.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far, no evidence has been found to indicate that it originated there,\u201d he said in a press conference. \u201cHowever, we are taking all precautions in case that were the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mexican health officials have traveled to Guanajuato to take samples and conduct their own probe alongside the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to Kershenobich.<\/p>\n

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., meanwhile, sought to assure Americans that the cyclosporiasis outbreak is \u201cunder control.\u201d He also rebuffed concerns that budget cuts have negatively impacted surveillance and the investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the states will tell you that we\u2019re still doing forensics. We\u2019re still doing surveillance in all the states,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Cyclospora, an intestinal parasite, causes severe diarrhea, stomach pain, and nausea, among a laundry list of other symptoms. If left untreated, cyclosporiasis could lead to dehydration and severe complications that could last up to more than a month.<\/p>\n

The illness has sickened more than 4,000 Americans across 41 states since it broke out on May 1, according to the CDC. There have been hundreds of hospitalizations but no deaths.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration\u2019s investigation into the outbreak has hit snags before.<\/p>\n

On July 18, the FDA reported that a sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico tested positive for cyclospora. The following day, it said the result was actually a false positive.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification,\u201d it said. <\/p>\n

Taylor Farms later said the \u201cFDA apologized to us,\u201d writing in a statement that \u201cwe were informed that FDA made a mistake, and this was a false positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rapid response X account of the Health and Human Services Department reposted the company\u2019s statement with a clarification that there was no \u201cwalk back\u201d from the FDA.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was ONE false-positive lab result for ONE shipment of Taylor Farms lettuce OUTSIDE the scope of the current recall. FDA notified Taylor Farms of that result,\u201d it said. \u201cFDA\u2019s cyclospora investigation continues to point to shredded iceberg lettuce from a single supplier, Taylor Farms de Mexico.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor Fresh Foods Inc., the parent company of Taylor Farms, donated $1 million to Make America Great Again Inc. weeks after President Donald Trump returned to the White House in March 2025. The firm has also donated to Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, and other Republican candidates, as well as some Democratic candidates.<\/p>\n

Taylor Farms hired former Trump White House official Trent Morse as a lobbyist. Its executives met with White House and FDA officials on July 16, a day before it issued the voluntary recall. <\/p>\n

\n

A Taylor Farms spokeswoman earlier told The New York Times that company representatives met with administration officials to discuss what it viewed as \u201cshortfalls in the FDA and CDC\u2019s outbreak response process\u201d and ways to improve future public health responses.<\/p>\n
