    The nation's Cyclospora outbreak peaked some time ago, but it keeps producing cases on its current plateau.  The latest count is up to at least 535 cases in 18 states, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention （CDC） in Atlanta. That is 21 more cases and an additional state since CDC's report last week.

    And after a week of waiting, the  production and shipment of salad mix, leafy greens and salad mix from Taylor Farms de Mexico to the United States was halted as of Aug. 9, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration （FDA） said Monday.
