美国食品药品监督管理局宣布在墨西哥泰勒农场检测到环孢子虫寄生虫，该农场与美国历史上最大的环孢子虫食源性疾病爆发有关1。此次爆发已感染近13000人，涉及21个州，导致570人住院和2人死亡1。
FDA在农场的废水箱和莴苣种植排水沟中发现了环孢子虫1。然而，污染途径仍未明确，且这一发现与墨西哥食品安全部门的检测结论相悖——后者在莴苣和水中均未检出该寄生虫1。FDA此前在泰勒农场莴苣样本中错误检测出环孢子虫，随后被迫收回了这一结果1。
疾病控制与预防中心已在不到一个月前宣布此次疫情爆发结束1。FDA在超过七年后才对该农场进行视察，这反映了新冠疫情后国际食品安全检查大幅下降的现状1。泰勒农场方面表示，污染可能来自一家独立种植者，该供应商已不再是其供应商计划的一部分1。
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the discovery of cyclospora parasites at Taylor Farm in Mexico, which has been connected to one of the largest foodborne cyclospora disease outbreaks in American history 1. The parasite was detected in wastewater tanks and lettuce cultivation drainage ditches at the facility 1. The outbreak infected nearly 13,000 people across 21 states, resulting in 570 hospitalizations and 2 deaths 1.
The source of contamination remains unclear, and the FDA's findings contradict test results from Mexican food safety authorities, which detected no cyclospora in lettuce or water samples from the farm 1. The FDA was forced to retract erroneous results from earlier lettuce samples collected at Taylor Farm where it had incorrectly identified the parasite 1. Taylor Farm attributed the contamination to an independent grower supplier that is no longer part of its supply program 1. The CDC had announced the outbreak's conclusion less than one month before the parasite discovery 1. The FDA's inspection was its first at the facility in over seven years, a gap reflecting the significant decline in international food safety inspections following the COVID-19 pandemic 1.
