Oregon Reports 2 Cyclospora Cases Linked to Lettuce Recall as State Risk Stays Low

Summary
Two Oregon residents developed Cyclospora infections after traveling to states tied to the national recall of pre-shredded iceberg lettuce, the Oregon Health Authority said.
Oregon officials said the products were not reported to have been distributed in the state, and they have not detected an unusual rise in cyclosporiasis cases.
23 cases have been reported in Oregon so far in 2026, versus 26 in 2025 and 30 in 2024, supporting the state's assessment that public risk remains low.
The CDC first linked the outbreak to Taco Bell restaurants and, with the FDA and states, is tracing lettuce supplies and interviewing patients; Oregon expects more travel-related cases or newly identified products.
