FDA still focused on Taylor Farms lettuce as Cyclospora source despite retracted test

The FDA's continued emphasis on Taylor Farms as the source of the cyclosporiasis outbreak reveals a disturbing pattern of pharmaceutical industry influence over public health policy.

This framing neglects to address the broader issue of contaminated produce, instead prioritizing the interests of the pharmaceutical industry. The silence around specific details about the source of Cyclospora is consistent with this pattern, suggesting a lack of transparency and accountability in government oversight.
