The CDC has declared the cyclospora outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce over. Nearly 13,000 cases in 21 states have been linked to Taylor Farms lettuce. 570 people have been hospitalized and two have died.

The CDC said that there is no longer a risk of people getting sick with cyclospora from Taylor Farms’ iceberg lettuce, and that fewer than two infections per day occurred in August, on average.

The latest best-by date on the recalled lettuce was Aug. 3, meaning that the affected lettuce should not be available in stores or restaurants. But new cases have still mounted in the weeks since, in part because it takes so long to become sick from cyclospora.
