FDA Closes Cyclospora Outbreak Investigation, Identifies Parasite in Mexican Farm Wastewater

FDA Closes Cyclospora Outbreak Investigation, Identifies Parasite in Mexican Farm Wastewater

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has closed its investigation into the largest Cyclospora outbreak in U.S. history, which sickened nearly 13,000 people. The FDA announced that its inspectors found the Cyclospora parasite in a wastewater tank and a drainage ditch at a Mexican farm linked to the outbreak. This farm, a supplier to Taylor Farms de Mexico, was previously identified as the source of contaminated iceberg lettuce. Despite the discovery, the FDA stated it remains unclear how the parasite initially contaminated the lettuce. Taylor Farms, in a separate statement, indicated that the independent grower responsible for the contamination is no longer part of their supplier program and their facility in central Mexico remains closed as they implement enhanced safety protocols.

Unlicensed Catering Business Shut Down After Rock Island Football Team Suffers Food Poisoning

Unlicensed Catering Business Shut Down After Rock Island Football Team Suffers Food Poisoning

An unlicensed, home-based catering business named Sunshine and Spice, owned by Joshua Harris, has been ordered to cease operations by the Rock Island Health Department. This action follows a foodborne illness outbreak that sickened at least 45 individuals, including players, coaches, and parents of the Rock Island High School football team. The incident occurred after a team dinner on September 24, where a taco bar-style meal was served. Symptoms reported included vomiting and diarrhea, though no hospitalizations were required, and most symptoms subsided within 24 hours. The health department discovered that Sunshine and Spice was neither licensed nor food-safety certified. Joshua Harris issued a statement apologizing for the situation and confirming cooperation with the Rock Island County Health Department and law enforcement in their ongoing investigation. Ingredients for the meal were reportedly purchased from Moline Walmart, Spotted Apron in Geneseo, and farmers' markets in Davenport and Coal Valley.

Santa Fe Experiences Record September Rainfall, Drier Days Ahead

Santa Fe, New Mexico, has experienced its wettest September on record, following a notably dry start to the monsoon season. Heavy rains over the past weeks have significantly improved drought conditions but also caused widespread flooding, road closures, and evacuation orders. Nine roads in Santa Fe County remain closed due to flood damage, and some areas, such as Taos Ski Valley, even witnessed snowfall at higher elevations. As autumn progresses, the region is now transitioning to drier weather conditions, with decreasing precipitation chances reported across most of the state.
