RFK Jr. Calls Cyclosporiasis Outbreak "Under Control" as Cases Hit 34 States

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. declared the cyclosporiasis outbreak "under control" on July 21, 2026, citing source identification and recalls. The CDC reports over 1,600 confirmed cases across 34 states, with 5,100 pending. Michigan alone exceeds 6,571 cases. The declaration followed an FDA reversal of a 27-state lettuce recall caused by a false-positive border screening test.
