The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) declared Friday the end of the largest cyclosporiasis outbreak in the country's history, linked to Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce grown in central Mexico. The outbreak sickened 12,883 people across 21 states, with more than 500 hospitalizations and two deaths in Michigan, the hardest-hit state.
