Mexico Launches Epidemiological Study on Lettuce Following Cyclospora Outbreak in the U.S.
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that the Ministry of Health is conducting an epidemiological study to determine if any products from Mexico are linked to the Cyclospora outbreak being investigated in the United States, where the CDC has issued an expanded alert. She explained that information released by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has changed during the investigation, initially pointing to Mexican products, then dismissing it as a false positive, and now reconsidering that hypothesis. 'We are asking the Ministry of Health because there was an initial investigation by the FDA. They first said it was Mexican lettuce or that it was exported from certain places in Mexico to the United States. Then they said no, that the test they had conducted was a false positive, as they call it. And now they are revisiting this,' Sheinbaum stated during her press conference. The president assured that her government will provide available information as the analysis by Mexican health authorities progresses. 'An epidemiological study is being conducted to review if there is indeed something related to any Mexican product or not,' she affirmed.
