Four more states impacted by Taylor Farms Cyclospora outbreak

New Hampshire is reporting 17 confirmed cases of Cyclospora associated with consumption of iceberg lettuce recalled by Taylor Farms de Mexico.

The outbreak victims reported having eaten the recalled lettuce at Cheshire Medical Center, 580 Court Street, Keene, NH. The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services recommends that anyone who ate at this location between the beginning of June through July 20, 2026 and who develops severe or persistent watery diarrhea should contact their health care provider for evaluation and testing for Cyclospora infection.

This is the first time that cases have been explicitly linked by a state or federal health agency to an establishment other than a Taco Bell outlet.

In addition to the New Hampshire cases, Oregon, Washington, and Arkansas are reporting possible outbreak cases of Cyclospora in residents who traveled to one of the nine states identified by the CDC as part of the Taylor Farms outbreak in the 14 days before becoming ill.

Arkansas has not revealed how many of its 92 lab-confirmed Cyclospora cases may have been acquired by travelers to one of the outbreak states. Oregon reports two such cases, explaining that both individuals “…traveled to other states involved in the recent nationwide recall of pre-shredded iceberg lettuce associated with the outbreak.” Washington is more specific, stating that two cases are being included in the Taylor Farms outbreak. Both individuals traveled to Michigan and ate at a Taco Bell outlet.

It is unclear whether the Oregon, Washington, and Arkansas outbreak cases will be noted separately by the CDC or included in the totals for the states to which the victims traveled.

In any event, the number of outbreak states has now reached double digits.

Cyclospora surveillance news

Three of the hardest hit states in the broader Cyclospora picture updated their surveillance data this week.

Michigan is now reporting 9680 cases.

Illinois is reporting 707 confirmed and probable cases, of which 411 were domestically acquired.

Indiana reports 954 cases.

The CDC last updated its Taylor Farms outbreak page and its Cyclospora surveillance page on July 24th. There is no indication of when the next update will be issued.
