RFK Jr. Declares Cyclosporiasis Outbreak "Under Control" as Cases Span 34 States
HHS Secretary RFK Jr. declared the cyclosporiasis outbreak "under control" on July 21, 2026, citing source identification and recalls. The CDC reports 1,600-plus confirmed cases across 34 states, with 5,100 pending. Michigan alone tallies over 6,571 cases. The declaration came one day after the FDA reversed a 27-state lettuce recall triggered by a false-positive border-screening test.
