Cyclospora outbreak sickens tens of thousands across 47 US states

Since mid-May, tens of thousands of people across 47 US states have reported illness linked to a cyclospora outbreak caused by a parasitic gastrointestinal infection. Pressure is mounting on the FDA to resolve the crisis, but experts warn that food safety problems in the US have been building for years. Both the private and public sectors are struggling to contain outbreaks of this magnitude.
