Importantly, the incubation period of the disease is longer than the shelf life of the salad. So if you figure out where it is coming from, and stop it at the source, in short order the salad is good again.

At that point, even saying who was responsible accomplishes nothing other than to cost them sales of good salad.

Not really. The expiration dates on the packaged salads are at least 10 days - that’s enough time to allow many people to be infected.

“People typically become sick approximately seven days after they acquire the infection, but that incubation period can range from two to 14 days.

Cyclospora infections usually resolve on their own, but the illness can last a long time. Patients may have relapsing symptoms that can persist for weeks to months.”

Not only that, but the public should be informed which company was involved, so that they can decide for themselves if they want to trust that company in the future, or switch to another brand.

I suppose they can do tests for this stuff to see if you have it. But it would be helpful to know if it is the brand you buy. I just got off the phone with my elderly mom that shows many of these symptoms. (And at her age it is pretty scary).
