Lettuce Safe to Eat Again as Cyclospora Outbreak Winds Down

A multi-state cyclospora outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms prompted a July recall; as recalled products exit shelves and the incubation window passes, officials say the risk is lower and Michigan residents can resume normal food handling, though vigilance remains and some clusters are still under investigation. Most exposures occurred in June–July, with the recall likely limiting further cases, and experts continue to advise careful handling of fresh produce and, when possible, choosing whole heads over bagged greens.
