Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gotlieb estimates that the true number of cyclospora cases is 10 or 20 times the amount currently being reported, making it the largest documented cyclospora outbreak in history. In response, the FDA posted on X that they had never apologized to Taylor Farms, and that epidemiological tracing still established Taylor Farm’s plant as the source of the outbreak. Despite the company’s origins in the U.S., Trump has threatened major tariffs on Mexico over the cyclospora outbreak. Taylor Farms, founded in California in 1995 but with operations that now span North America and Western Europe, is no exception. In this cyclospora outbreak, the scale and concentration of the contemporary produce market has become a public health hazard.
