Update: Nearly 150 Cyclospora Illnesses Linked to Veggie Trays
June 27, 2018 – U.S. health officials continue to investigate a multistate outbreak of the bacterium cyclospora cayetanensis associated with Del Monte vegetable trays, and the case count is up to at least 144 illnesses.
The FDA said it’s still working to determine which item in the veggie trays is the source of the outbreak, according to an update issued on Thursday.
2013 Cyclospora Outbreak Linked to Taylor Farms de Mexico
In August 2013, a rare outbreak of Cyclospora infections was linked to bagged salad mixes produced by Taylor Farms de Mexico.
The illnesses were traced back to salads served at Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants in Nebraska and Iowa. The outbreak eventually spread across 19 states, infecting nearly 550 people.
FDA Investigation and Taylor Farms Response
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) launched an investigation earlier in August 2013, confirming that Cyclospora infections were linked to salads produced by Taylor Farms de Mexico.
These salads, containing iceberg lettuce, romaine lettuce, red cabbage, and carrots, were consumed at affected restaurants in Iowa and Nebraska.
Although these specific products were implicated only in Iowa and Nebraska, Taylor Farms temporarily halted operations as a precautionary measure.
In a public statement, the company emphasized its cooperation with the investigation:
“This decision allows Taylor Farms de Mexico to focus more resources on assisting the FDA in their investigation of the June Cyclospora outbreak in Iowa and Nebraska,” the company stated. “We continue to be very confident in our Mexico operation throughout our own review of our existing, and recently further enhanced, food safety procedures, systems, and critical control points.”
Complexity of the Outbreak
Health officials noted that it was unclear whether all cases in the outbreak were caused by the same strain of Cyclospora.
- In a 1997 Cyclospora outbreak, over 1,000 people were infected, and the sources were diverse, including fresh fruits and spices.
- This complexity made tracing foodborne illness outbreaks extremely difficult for investigators.
The FDA described the tracking process as:
“Labor-intensive and painstaking,” requiring the collection, review, and analysis of thousands of invoices and shipping documents to pinpoint the source of contamination.
CDC Request for Additional Resources
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) petitioned Congress for $40 million to update hardware and software systems.
These upgrades would help the CDC improve real-time genome sequencing of bacterial pathogens like Cyclospora, making outbreak investigations faster and more accurate.
Cyclospora Food Poisoning Update (August 27, 2013)
By the end of August, the CDC reported over 600 cases of Cyclospora food poisoning in multiple states. However, not all cases were directly linked to Taylor Farms de Mexico.
A separate Texas-based cluster of infections was not connected to the salad mix contamination.
The CDC clarified:
“The preliminary analysis of results from this ongoing cluster investigation in Texas does not show a connection to salad mix, leafy greens, and salad mix components produced at Taylor Farms de Mexico.”
This suggested that multiple sources of Cyclospora contamination may have been responsible for the widespread outbreak.
State-by-State Breakdown of Cases (as of August 13, 2013)
By mid-August, 548 cases of Cyclospora illness had been reported across 19 states and one city.
The case distribution was as follows:
- Texas – 220 cases
- Iowa – 153 cases
- Nebraska – 86 cases
- Florida – 27 cases
- Wisconsin – 14 cases
- Illinois – 9 cases
- Arkansas – 7 cases
- New York City – 5 cases
- Georgia – 4 cases
- Missouri – 4 cases
- Kansas – 3 cases
- Louisiana – 3 cases
- Minnesota – 2 cases
- New Jersey – 2 cases
- New York – 2 cases
- Ohio – 2 cases
- Virginia – 2 cases
- California – 1 case
- Connecticut – 1 case
- New Hampshire – 1 case
This widespread distribution highlights the challenges in identifying and controlling foodborne outbreaks, particularly when multiple sources may be involved.
What is Cyclosporiasis?
Cyclosporiasis is a rare gastrointestinal illness caused by the Cyclospora cayetanensis bacterium. This parasite spreads when people eat food or drink water that has been contaminated with fecal matter.
In most cases, Cyclosporiasis is not highly contagious due to the fact that it typically takes a week or more for a carrier to become infectious. Therefore, it is rare that the bacteria spreads directly from person-to-person.
Common Symptoms of Cyclosporiasis
The symptoms of cyclosporiasis can vary in severity, with some individuals experiencing mild discomfort while others face prolonged illness.
The most commonly reported symptoms include:
- Diarrhea – Watery diarrhea, often occurring six to seven times per day, is the most distinctive symptoms.
- Fatigue – Persistent tiredness due to dehydration and malnutrition caused by the infection.
- Loss of Appetite & Weight Loss – Reduced food intake can lead to noticeable weight loss over time.
- Bloating & Intestinal Gas – Many patients report abdominal bloating, often accompanied by excessive gas and discomfort.
- Stomach Cramps – Cramping pain in the abdomen is another common symptom that occurs alongside diarrhea.
- Nausea & Vomiting – These symptoms may exacerbate dehydration risks, making medical attention crucial in severe cases.
- Muscle Aches – Generalized muscle soreness and fatigue can occur as part of the body’s immune response to infection.
- Low-Grade Fever – While not present in all cases, about half of the affected individuals report mild fever as the infection progresses.
These symptoms can last for several weeks if untreated, significantly impacting a person’s overall well-being.
Symptom Progression Timeline: What to Expect?
Symptoms usually appear 2 to 14 days after exposure, with an average incubation period of one week. The infection follows a relapsing course, meaning symptoms may subside temporarily before returning.
If left untreated, cyclosporiasis can persist for 6 to 12 weeks, and in some immunocompromised individuals, symptoms can continue for months. Timely diagnosis and treatment can significantly reduce recovery time.
When to Seek Medical Attention?
Although cyclosporiasis is generally not life-threatening, it can cause severe dehydration and prolonged illness.
Seek medical attention if you experience:
- Persistent watery diarrhea lasting more than a few days.
- Unexplained weight loss or inability to keep food down.
- Fever lasting several days or worsening symptoms.
- Signs of dehydration such as excessive thirst, dark urine, or dizziness.
- Presence of blood in the stool or black, tarry stools.
- Severe abdominal pain or cramping that worsens over time.
Early diagnosis ensures proper treatment and prevents complications, especially in high-risk individuals, such as young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.
Potential Long-Term Health Effects
While cyclosporiasis does not typically cause long-term organ damage, untreated cases may lead to chronic malabsorption, prolonged weight loss, and persistent fatigue.
In immunocompromised patients (e.g., those with HIV/AIDS), the infection may last longer and become more severe, requiring extended treatment.
Treatment Options and Recovery Timeline
The primary treatment for cyclosporiasis is trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX), an antibiotic that typically resolves symptoms within two to three days of starting therapy.
For patients who cannot tolerate TMP-SMX, alternative treatments are limited, and management focuses on supportive care such as hydration, electrolyte replacement, and maintaining proper nutrition.
Preventing Cyclosporiasis: Steps to Reduce Risk
Since Cyclospora cayetanensis spreads through contaminated food and water, prevention strategies focus on safe food handling and hygiene practices.
To reduce your risk:
- Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly before consumption. Imported produce, such as raspberries and basil from tropical regions, has been linked to past outbreaks.
- Drink only purified water when traveling to high-risk areas. Avoid drinking tap water or consuming ice made from unfiltered sources.
- Avoid raw or unwashed produce in areas with known Cyclospora outbreaks. Cooking food properly eliminates the parasite.
- Practice good hygiene by washing hands regularly, especially after handling raw produce or traveling abroad.
These preventive measures are crucial for individuals traveling to tropical and subtropical regions, where Cyclospora outbreaks have historically been reported.
Testing and Diagnosis: How is Cyclosporiasis Confirmed?
Diagnosing cyclosporiasis requires laboratory testing, as its symptoms resemble other gastrointestinal illnesses.
Key diagnostic methods include:
- Stool Sample Analysis – A stool examination with acid-fast staining or safranin O stain is required to detect Cyclospora oocysts under a microscope.
- Multiple Stool Tests – Since oocysts are shed intermittently in feces, collecting multiple stool samples over several days improves diagnostic accuracy.
- Duodenal Aspirates or Small Bowel Biopsy – In severe cases, additional testing may be needed to confirm infection, especially in individuals with prolonged symptoms.
Managing and Preventing Cyclosporiasis
While cyclosporiasis is not as well-known as other foodborne illnesses, its long-lasting and relapsing symptoms make it a significant public health concern.
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for a faster recovery, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
By following proper food safety measures and practicing good hygiene, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of contracting Cyclospora cayetanensis.
Awareness and vigilance remain key, particularly when consuming fresh produce or traveling to areas with previous outbreaks.
Cyclospora Contamination and Food Safety: Understanding Risks and Prevention
Cyclospora contamination poses a serious public health risk, especially in fresh produce that is consumed raw.
The parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis spreads through contaminated water, soil, and poor agricultural hygiene, leading to outbreaks linked to imported food products.
By understanding how contamination occurs and implementing effective food safety measures, consumers, businesses, and regulatory agencies can work together to reduce the risk of cyclosporiasis.
How Cyclospora Contaminates Food?
The spread of Cyclospora begins when fecal matter containing oocysts contaminates water or soil used for agriculture.
Unlike other foodborne pathogens, Cyclospora does not spread directly from person to person; instead, it requires an external environment where the oocysts can mature before becoming infectious.
For example:
- Contamination occurs when human waste enters irrigation systems, fertilized soil, or food-processing areas.
- The oocysts are highly resistant to environmental conditions and can survive for extended periods in moisture-rich settings.
- Research suggests that insects, rotifers, and free-living nematodes may contribute to the mechanical transmission of Cyclospora oocysts.
Once Cyclospora contaminates crops, washing alone may not always be sufficient to remove all oocysts, making proper food safety measures essential.
High-Risk Food Products
Due to the way Cyclospora spreads, certain food products are more vulnerable to contamination.
- Fresh Produce: Leafy greens (such as mesclun lettuce), herbs (such as basil and cilantro), berries (such as raspberries), snow peas, and other raw fruits and vegetables have been linked to multiple outbreaks.
- Imported Foods: Produce sourced from tropical or subtropical regions with inadequate sanitation infrastructure is particularly high-risk. Many outbreaks in North America have been traced back to imported cilantro, basil, and prepackaged salad mixes.
Recognizing which foods pose the highest risk helps consumers and businesses take appropriate precautions when handling and consuming fresh produce.
Safe Food Handling Practices
While Cyclospora is resistant to standard washing methods, following proper food handling practices can help reduce the risk of infection.
- Wash Hands: Always wash hands with soap and water before handling food, especially after using the restroom or touching raw produce.
- Clean Produce:
- Wash all fruits and vegetables under running water (rather than soaking) before eating.
- Use a clean produce brush for firm-skinned items like melons or cucumbers.
- Store Properly:
- Refrigerate cut or cooked produce immediately to prevent bacterial growth.
- Store raw vegetables separately from ready-to-eat foods to prevent cross-contamination.
While washing produce reduces contamination, it does not fully eliminate Cyclospora oocysts, reinforcing the importance of sourcing food from trusted suppliers.
Restaurant Safety Protocols
Restaurants play a critical role in preventing Cyclospora outbreaks by implementing strict food safety measures.
- Frequent Handwashing: Food handlers should wash hands before and after preparing produce.
- Proper Cleaning of Utensils: Cutting boards, knives, and preparation surfaces must be sanitized between uses.
- Separation of Raw and Cooked Foods: Preventing cross-contamination by using separate preparation areas for fresh produce and raw meats reduces the risk of foodborne illnesses.
By following these protocols, food establishments can help protect consumers from outbreaks linked to contaminated ingredients.
Import Safety Regulations and Food Supply Chain Oversight
Because many Cyclospora outbreaks in the U.S. and Canada have been linked to imported produce, regulatory oversight of food imports is critical.
- The FDA and USDA enforce guidelines to ensure produce is grown and handled according to Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs).
- Regulations require that imported produce is tested for contaminants, although Cyclospora detection remains challenging due to its resilience.
- Strengthening food safety requirements for international suppliers can significantly reduce the number of imported contaminated products.
Enhanced regulation, combined with proper sanitation practices on farms, is key to minimizing the spread of Cyclospora through global food supply chains.
Prevention Strategies for Consumers and Food Suppliers
To reduce the risk of Cyclospora infection, both consumers and businesses must take proactive measures:
- Avoid Untreated Water: Travelers should avoid drinking untreated or tap water in regions known for Cyclospora outbreaks.
- Proper Hygiene on Farms: Agricultural workers should receive training on hygiene and sanitation, including proper handwashing techniques.
- Ensure Safe Irrigation Practices: Farms should avoid using untreated wastewater for irrigation or produce washing.
- Consumer Awareness: Shoppers should stay informed about recent outbreaks and take extra precautions when purchasing produce from affected regions.
By combining individual food safety practices with stricter industry regulations, the risk of future Cyclospora outbreaks can be significantly reduced.
Legal Ramifications: Foodborne Illness Lawsuits and Liability
Significant Cyclospora outbreaks often lead to legal action against food suppliers, distributors, and retailers.
- Lawsuits typically allege negligence in handling or distributing contaminated products.
- Plaintiffs in foodborne illness lawsuits must prove that they consumed a contaminated product and suffered harm as a result.
- Companies that fail to follow safety standards may be held liable under product liability laws.
The increasing number of foodborne illness cases highlights the importance of rigorous food safety practices and corporate accountability in preventing outbreaks.
Tracing the 2018 Cyclospora Outbreak: How Contaminated Del Monte Vegetable Trays Sparked a Public Health Crisis
In 2018, a significant outbreak of cyclosporiasis—an intestinal infection caused by Cyclospora cayetanensis—was linked to prepackaged vegetable trays sold by Del Monte Fresh Produce [1].
The outbreak spread rapidly across multiple states, leading to hundreds of confirmed cases. The following is a comprehensive timeline of events, from the initial contamination to the public health response and eventual product recall.

The Legal Process for Cyclospora Outbreak Lawsuits
When foodborne illness outbreaks occur, legal action can help affected individuals recover damages for their medical expenses, lost wages, and suffering.
Understanding the legal framework, necessary documentation, and potential compensation is essential for anyone considering a lawsuit related to a Cyclospora outbreak.
The following section outlines the key legal considerations, timelines, and settlement expectations to help victims navigate their options effectively.
Statute of Limitations by State
One of the most critical aspects of filing a lawsuit is understanding the statute of limitations, which determines how long you have to take legal action after becoming ill.
- In states like Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including food poisoning, is four years.
- Nebraska follows a 10-year statute of repose, meaning that a lawsuit must be filed within ten years of the product being sold, regardless of when the illness occurred.
- The time limit can vary significantly between states, making it essential to consult a food safety attorney to ensure your claim is filed on time.
Failing to meet these deadlines can prevent victims from recovering any compensation, underscoring the importance of acting quickly after a confirmed Cyclospora diagnosis.
Required Documentation for Claims
To build a strong case, plaintiffs must provide clear evidence linking their illness to contaminated food.
Essential documentation includes:
- Medical Records: A confirmed diagnosis of cyclosporiasis, including test results and treatment history.
- Evidence Linking Illness to Contaminated Food: Public health investigations or recall notices that connect the outbreak to a specific product.
- Receipts or Proof of Purchase: Evidence showing that the plaintiff consumed the contaminated food, such as restaurant receipts or grocery store transactions.
- Public Health Reports: Statements from the CDC, FDA, or local health departments confirming the outbreak and its connection to the contaminated source.
Without this documentation, proving a direct link between the illness and the food source can be challenging, potentially reducing the chances of a successful lawsuit.
Types of Compensation Available
Victims of Cyclospora outbreaks may be eligible for various forms of compensation, depending on the severity of their illness and financial losses.
- Medical Expenses – Reimbursement for doctor visits, hospital stays, prescription medications, and any ongoing treatments required due to complications.
- Lost Wages – Compensation for time missed at work while recovering from the illness.
- Pain and Suffering – Financial relief for the emotional distress and physical discomfort caused by prolonged illness.
In severe cases, victims who suffer long-term health consequences may seek additional compensation for future medical treatments or permanent disability-related losses.
Settlement Ranges for Cyclospora Lawsuits
The amount of compensation awarded in foodborne illness cases varies based on illness severity, medical expenses, and lost wages.
- Mild Cases: Settlements typically range from $5,000 to $25,000 for cases involving short-term illness without hospitalization.
- Severe Cases: Individuals who required hospitalization or experienced complications may receive $50,000 to $100,000+.
- Wrongful Death Claims: Families filing on behalf of deceased loved ones may seek significantly higher settlements, potentially reaching hundreds of thousands or even millions in damages.
A lawsuit’s value depends on how well the plaintiff can prove negligence, making strong documentation and expert legal representation crucial.
Class Action vs. Individual Lawsuits
When multiple individuals are affected by the same contaminated product, lawsuits may be filed as either class actions or individual claims.
Class Actions:
- Allow multiple plaintiffs to file as a group against the same defendant.
- More efficient for large-scale outbreaks but can result in lower individual payouts.
- Best suited for cases where compensation amounts are expected to be relatively uniform.
Individual Lawsuits:
- Provide personalized compensation based on the plaintiff’s specific damages.
- Often result in higher payouts but require more effort from each plaintiff.
- Recommended for cases involving severe illness or long-term health consequences.
Deciding between these two legal paths depends on the extent of the damages suffered and whether victims prefer a streamlined approach or individualized compensation.
