TORONTO - The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said it is not considering restrictions on fresh produce imports from the United States, where thousands have been infected with a diarrhea-causing parasite.

A gastrointestinal disease caused by Cyclospora that's sickened thousands in the US could already be in Canada, we’re just not detecting it.

The current U.S. outbreak, which began on May 1, is centered in Michigan, with Ohio and New York also reporting high numbers of cases.
