Human feces and toilet paper found in cilantro growing fields in Puebla, Mexico are likely to blame for hundreds of cases of cyclosporiasis, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says Monday, leading the government to detain Mexican cilantro at the border from April to August and forbid products from Puebla from entering the U.S. without inspections and certification.

Cilantro from Mexico was identified as the cause of an outbreak of cyclosporiasis in Texas in both 2014 and 2015, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FDA.
