The brief

Federal health officials are investigating five different clusters of cyclosporiasis cases. Although a test result was retracted and described as a 'false positive,' the FDA remains focused on Taylor Farms lettuce as the source of the parasite.

Coverage from The New York Times, NPR, and PBS emphasizes that the agency is maintaining its focus on the supplier despite the faulty test. CNBC reports that while the FDA made a significant reversal in the probe, it still believes iceberg lettuce is to blame.

Future developments depend on the FDA's ongoing investigation into the identified clusters of cases.
