Many states in the US have recently reported thousands of cases of cyclosporiasis infection. The suspected source of infection is lettuce balls imported from Mexico by an American fast food chain. The Mexican government announced a few days ago that the relevant departments have set up a special task force to investigate and take measures to prevent such incidents from happening. Mexico's Federal Health Risk Prevention Commission and two departments of the National Agricultural Products Health, Safety and Quality Service issued a statement on the 17th saying that an interdepartmental technical working group has been set up to investigate the matter, and the working group has carried out traceability investigations and field inspections. The statement said that the investigation has not yet been completed, and no conclusion can be made yet. “Identifying the country of origin of the product through traceability does not confirm that the pollution occurred in this country.”
