Cyclospora spread declining, is lettuce safe now
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reported that iceberg lettuce products that were recalled following the Cyclospora outbreak are no longer available in stores and restaurants, and the risk level for consumers has decreased. Nonetheless, it is advised not to consume the recalled products, while adhering to food safety and hygiene practices when handling fresh produce, including thoroughly washing hands and utensils. Data indicates that the number of cases has exceeded 11,400 across 20 states and resulted in two deaths. It is noteworthy that most of the cases occurred before the lettuce recall in July. An investigation is still ongoing to identify the source of contamination and to reach the eventual conclusion of the outbreak, which is expected to be over after several weeks without new cases.
