As the cyclospora outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce spread to nine states, Americans have dubbed the health concern "lettuce-gate" on social media, and they aren't convinced the situation is under control.
Health officials believe the affected iceberg lettuce came from a Taylor Farms facility located in central Mexico.
Taylor Farms also said it voluntarily suspended all iceberg lettuce sourcing and production from central Mexico.
The Mexican government on Friday also said its tests found no evidence of the parasite at Taylor Farms.
The FDA on Thursday reported a new cyclospora outbreak linked to unspecified products.
