- Michigan’s health department said two people had died, marking the first fatalities in the largest U.S. outbreak of the illness.
- The department reported 11,234 outbreak-linked cases on Monday, 461 more than on Friday, along with 193 hospitalizations.
- An FDA investigation linked the outbreak, which has spread to nine states, to iceberg lettuce from privately held Taylor Farms operations in central Mexico, while other sources remain under review.
- The CDC had recorded 6,707 laboratory-confirmed cases nationwide by July 28 and more than 11,500 additional suspected cases, while states may also report probable infections.
This development highlights the importance of identifying the source of the outbreak and preventing additional illnesses.— Wade Syers, food safety specialist at Michigan State University Extension.

- Up to 12,000 Cyclospora infections were recorded across nine U.S. states in recent weeks and traced to shredded iceberg lettuce produced by Taylor Farms.
- According to the article, about one-sixth of those affected contracted the infection at Taco Bell, which sources lettuce from Taylor Farms.
- Taco Bell removed the affected lettuce from its restaurants, a step John Oliver acknowledged despite his further criticism of the chain.
- Oliver accused Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of weakening agencies responsible for the response, while the CDC had lost a quarter of its employees, including eight of 11 parasite-tracking scientists.
