> The CDC says parasitic illness cases in 15 states have been connected to iceberg lettuce. Cyclospora infections have been reported in at least 47 states so far this year. Investigators are continuing to examine how many of those cases may be tied to a single contaminated source. The inquiry has not yet established the full extent of that possible connection.
