Cyclospora Outbreak Concerns Grow

Cyclospora Outbreak Concerns Grow

Critics argue that government agencies have failed to acknowledge the scale of the largest Cyclospora outbreak in US history.

The United States is currently facing the largest Cyclospora outbreak ever recorded in the country. Despite the severity of the situation, there are growing concerns regarding how the crisis is being managed by top officials.

According to Food Safety News, critics suggest that both the FDA and CDC have handled the outbreak poorly. A primary point of contention is that leadership has yet to publicly acknowledge the record-breaking number of cases three weeks into the event.
