Tainted McDonald’s salads have sickened 163 people across 10 states, and three of those people have been hospitalized, according to an update from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The CDC said in its July 19 note that the problem is caused by the Cyclospora parasite transmitted in foods that were likely contaminated with feces.
