| July, 2026 Update – A separate 2026 Cyclospora investigation is underway. CDC has identified a large multistate outbreak involving more than 400 people in Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky, while Michigan has reported 3,309 cases overall. Michigan investigators are focusing on lettuce and salad greens, and current reporting says bagged, prewashed salad kits may be receiving particular attention. No specific product, brand, grower, supplier, restaurant, or retailer has been identified, and the current outbreak has not been linked to the 2020 Fresh Express outbreak described below. See the 2026 national Cyclospora outbreak update and the Michigan outbreak report for current information. |
The Cyclospora outbreak linked to bagged salads has ended after sickening 701 people in 14 states. Thirty-eight people were hospitalized.
Health officials identified the source of the outbreak as bagged salads containing iceberg lettuce, red cabbage, and carrots produced by Fresh Express. The salads were sold under that brand name and a variety of store brands including ALDI Little Salad Bar, Giant Eagle, Hy-Vee, Jewel-Osco Signature Farms, ShopRite Wholesome Pantry, and Walmart Marketside. All of the salads were produced at the Fresh Express facility in Streamwood, IL. Multiple recalls were issued.
