Michigan has reported more than 7,100 cyclosporiasis cases, with iceberg lettuce suspected as the source.

Taylor Farms products are under scrutiny as the CDC investigates the outbreak.

The case adds to a string of recent outbreaks tied to romaine, salad kits, and other leafy greens.

Because lettuce is often eaten raw and sold in mixed salads, contamination can spread quickly and widely.
