Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared Tuesday that federal authorities have the multi-state cyclosporiasis outbreak contained, according to remarks made to ABC News. The parasitic infection has sickened at least 1,600 people across five states, according to available data.
Kennedy’s assessment came as health officials continue investigating the source of the outbreak. Cyclosporiasis, transmitted through contaminated food or water, causes intestinal illness characterized by diarrhea, cramps, and other gastrointestinal symptoms.
The outbreak has prompted heightened scrutiny of produce supply chains and food safety protocols across the affected regions. Officials have not yet publicly identified the specific food source responsible for the contamination.
