The Food and Drug Administration is banning imports of some fresh cilantro from Puebla, Mexico, after a government investigation found human feces and toilet paper in growing fields there.
The FDA announced the partial ban Monday after cilantro imported from the state of Puebla was linked to 2013 and 2014 outbreaks of stomach illnesses - or cyclospara - in the United States. 
The government agency said health authorities in Texas and Wisconsin also suspect cilantro from the region is responsible for more illnesses this year.
