FDA Clarifies It Has Not Apologized to Supplier Tied to Cyclospora Outbreak

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has denied issuing any apology to Taylor Farms, a supplier linked to an ongoing cyclospora outbreak causing diarrheal illness. The agency emphasized that a voluntary recall issued on July 17 by Taylor Farms remains in effect. Cyclospora is a parasitic infection that typically causes prolonged gastrointestinal symptoms. The FDA's clarification appears to counter claims or reports suggesting the agency had walked back its stance toward the supplier.
