The CDC declared the Cyclospora outbreak linked to Taylor Farms lettuce officially over last Friday — finally ending a summer saga where thousands got mysteriously ill from what was supposed to be a salad, not a parasite spa treatment. Meanwhile, the FDA is still sniffing around like your paranoid ex at a party, trying to pinpoint the exact lettuce villain in this leafy crime thriller. CDC bragged that the contaminated lettuce is no longer haunting grocery aisles or restaurants, probably hiding better than a GameStop pre-order receipt during a PS5 drought. Food safety’s latest drama had overlapping cases, chaos, and more investigations than a reality TV reunion episode.
