TL;DR Summary

A cyclosporiasis outbreak has sickened hundreds to thousands across the U.S., prompting caution in dining out as investigators seek the source. Some national chains have given little public detail, while a few restaurants have begun removing or reworking fresh produce (like lettuce, tomatoes, onions) or increasing washing practices. Chipotle says it is monitoring the situation and does not currently link ingredients to the outbreak. Health experts urge cautious dining, especially with fresh produce or salad bars, noting that Cyclospora is resistant to standard sanitizers and that no single source has yet been identified.
