AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoFood Safety & Recall: The FDA says a lab test that initially flagged Cyclospora in Taylor Farms lettuce was a false positive, but the agency and CDC still point to shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms in central Mexico as the likely source of a multistate cyclosporiasis outbreak affecting Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia. Public Health Updates: Federal officials say three of five Cyclospora clusters are now closed, while the largest Taco Bell-linked cluster still shows cases as recently as last week; Michigan has reported 6,148 cases. Local Impact: WEDCO District Health warned Kentucky residents about an iceberg lettuce recall tied to the Taylor Farms investigation, noting the recall remains in effect while sampling continues. Legal/Consumer Risk: The outbreak has also driven major consumer attention and lawsuits, even as the FDA’s false-positive reversal adds uncertainty about the exact source. State Economy & Policy: Kentucky is set to receive $27M in FEMA disaster relief for flood-damaged roads, bridges, utilities and parks. Data Security: Kentucky AG Russell Coleman announced a settlement with 23andMe over the 2023 genetic data breach, with Kentucky receiving more than $259,000 from a multistate payout.
