The reporting
A multistate cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to contaminated raw produce has sickened at least 11,000 people since May, including more than 8,100 in Michigan, before the CDC issued a July 14 health warning. Taylor Farms representatives contacted the White House seeking more proof and more time before a recall announcement tied to the outbreak. Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said that appeal was not standard procedure, and former FDA food safety official Frank Yiannas called for an independent review. Sen. Jon Ossoff pressed HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over CDC FoodNet cuts that ended cyclospora monitoring.
